Residents experiencing electricity interruptions in areas served by Dominion Energy can use the company's official outage map to check affected locations, report service disruptions, and find available restoration estimates. Power outages can affect homes, businesses, traffic signals, and other essential services, making accurate updates important for customers.

The map includes information about the number of reported outages, affected customers, and the time of the latest update. Dominion Energy says the map information is updated approximately every 15 minutes, although individual outage details may change as crews investigate.
Current Dominion Power Outage Status
As of October 10, 2026, customers should consult the live outage map for the latest conditions in their specific service area. The available map snapshot reviewed for this article was dated September 27 and is not sufficient to establish current outage totals.
Outage conditions can vary significantly between communities. A problem affecting one neighborhood does not necessarily indicate a widespread interruption across an entire state or service territory.
How to Report a Power Outage
Customers can report an interruption and check available updates through Dominion Energy's official website. The company also provides outage reporting through its mobile application.
For customers in Virginia, the dedicated outage and emergency telephone number is 866-366-4357. This number can also be used to report dangerous electrical hazards, including fallen power lines. Customers elsewhere should select their state on Dominion Energy's website to confirm the appropriate contact details.
When reporting an outage, provide the affected address and explain any unusual circumstances that may help crews locate the problem.
Common Causes of Electricity Interruptions
Power outages may result from severe weather, damaged electrical equipment, fallen trees, vehicle collisions, or scheduled maintenance. Some disruptions affect individual properties, while major equipment failures can interrupt service across multiple neighborhoods.
Restoration estimates depend on the extent of damage, weather conditions, and the time required to complete repairs safely.
Safety Tips During a Power Outage
Keep mobile phones charged, use flashlights instead of candles when possible, and limit opening refrigerator doors. Never touch fallen power lines or approach damaged electrical equipment. Dominion Energy advises customers to remain at least 30 feet away from downed lines and report them immediately.
