Sign Up for Power Outage Notifications

SmartHub now offers text and email outage notifications allowing you to be informed when your power is out or when your power has been restored.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once Stearns Electric has been notified of an outage in your area, our system will automatically send a request to surrounding meters to predict the extent of the outage.

If your service is predicted to be without power and you are enrolled in outage notifications, you will receive notification of the outage, as well as a notification when the outage has been restored.

SIGN UP TO RECEIVE OUTAGE NOTIFICATIONS
Signing up for outage notifications is easy, but requires two steps. You can use an app on your mobile phone or tablet or use a web browser on your computer.
