Information on major power outages
There are many causes of power outages - wind, ice and snow, lightning, trees that grow into or fall over onto power lines, construction damage to underground lines, traffic accidents affecting power poles, equipment failure and more.

Major storms or other natural disasters sometimes cause major outages - affecting a large number of customers over an extended period of time. In general, AEP Ohio defines a "major outage" as one that lasts more than 24-hours and requires the extra assistance of utility crews from outside the local area. This site provides you information regarding power outages, particularly major storm efforts.
