Residents across Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho are checking the Rocky Mountain Power outage map for information about electricity interruptions, affected neighborhoods, and estimated restoration times. Weather conditions, damaged electrical equipment, and planned maintenance can all contribute to outages, making official utility updates essential for customers seeking reliable information.
On October 9, 2026, Rocky Mountain Power announced that it was monitoring a storm system associated with Tropical Storm Rachel, expected to move into its service territory late Sunday, October 11. Forecasts indicated strong winds and sustained rainfall across central and southern Utah, creating the potential for weather-related power interruptions. The utility said crews were ready to respond if outages occurred.

The map provides information about planned and unplanned outages, customers affected, and available restoration estimates. Information is typically refreshed every 15 minutes, although conditions may change between updates.
Customers should enter their county or ZIP code where available to find information relevant to their location. Because Rocky Mountain Power serves multiple states, checking the correct service area is important.
What Causes Rocky Mountain Power Outages?
Power interruptions may result from damaged lines, equipment failures, falling trees, vehicle collisions, and scheduled maintenance. Strong winds and heavy rain can increase the risk of electrical infrastructure damage.
Rocky Mountain Power also uses Public Safety Power Shutoffs in certain circumstances when extreme wildfire conditions create a risk that electrical equipment could ignite a fire. These preventive interruptions differ from outages caused by accidental damage or equipment failure.
The utility has not confirmed that the October storm forecast will necessarily produce outages. Customers should monitor official announcements for updates affecting their communities.
How to Report a Power Outage
Customers can report an outage by calling 1-877-508-5088 or texting OUT to 759677. The utility also provides outage information through its website and mobile app.
Reporting an interruption helps crews identify affected locations and investigate the cause. Customers can also text STAT to 722797 to track restoration progress, according to the utility's published guidance.
When Will Power Be Restored?
Restoration times depend on the extent of the damage, weather conditions, and the time needed to inspect electrical equipment safely. Rocky Mountain Power initially assigns estimated restoration times based on typical repairs, then updates estimates after crews assess the situation.
During major storms, an estimate may display as “Assessing” until technicians can determine the scope of the work. Customers should check the outage map for location-specific updates rather than assume a universal restoration time.
Power Outage Safety Tips
Keep flashlights, batteries, and charged phones available. Avoid using generators indoors, and stay far away from fallen power lines, which must always be treated as energized. Report dangerous electrical conditions immediately.
