Since its founding, Delaware County Electric Cooperative (DCEC) has pledged to provide its members with the highest quality of electric service at the lowest possible cost. A variety of factors can cause outages which interrupt this flow of power. Whether it's extreme weather, tree damage, vehicle accidents, or even animal contacts, outages can pop up at the most inconvenient of times. But when an outage strikes, know that DCEC's crews are working hard to make sure your power is restored quickly, efficiently, and safely.   

If you are experiencing an outage, please call our Outage Line available 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year at (607) 746-9283 or Toll Free at (866) 436-1223

DCEC has a Facebook page that at a minimum, all planned outages and major outages will be posted to Facebook. To view the status of an outage or view past outages please visit our page.  

• A planned outage is any outage that the Cooperative knows about before it happens, such as shutting down a feeder to allow for the linemen to perform work on it.

• A major outage is one that affects 50 or more members and lasts for 4 hours or more. 

• Other minor outages may not be posted on Facebook, particularly outside of regular business hours.
