How do I report a UI power outage?

Report outages to United Illuminating directly — only the utility can dispatch crews and confirm restoration times. Call 1-855-784-3637 or use their online outage center at https://www.uinet.com/outages. For downed lines, fire, or any life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

My power is out but my neighbors have power — is it UI?

Probably not. If the rest of your street has power, the problem is usually on your own service line, meter, or main panel rather than a UI utility-wide outage. A licensed electrician can diagnose and fix in-home electrical faults; an electrician cannot restore a utility-side outage. Use the checklist on this site to tell the two apart safely.
