Residential and small business customers, you'll now automatically receive text alerts from 898-793 (TXT-PGE) when there's a power outage affecting you, and another text when the power is restored. We'll also provide restoration updates between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. for unplanned outages. It's a great way to keep you in the know, no matter where you are.

Is your power out but you didn't receive a text from us? Report the outage, then update your mobile number online or on the PGE app so we can text you next time.

When weather causes major power outages, you might only see the line workers and trucks in your neighborhood, but employees company-wide are working until everyone has power again.
