Restoration Progress Nears Completion

 Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our crews and utility partners, we have restored power to more than 6,000 additional customers since our last update. Our teams worked through the night to safely complete repairs and testing at the substation serving the majority of affected customers. With less than 1% of customers without power, we are in the final stages of restoration and remain committed to restoring service to every customer as safely and quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience throughout the restoration process. For the small number of customers still without power, please know our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service. 

If nearby power is restored but yours remains out, report it again at fpuc.com/customer-care/report-an-electric-outage/ or 800-427-7712. Have flooded or damaged electrical equipment inspected before use. Continue to avoid downed lines, floodwater and damaged equipment.

Restoration Progress Continues

We are working closely with our utility partners to restore the substation which supplies power to the majority of our customer still without power. The team plans to work through the night to ensure the substation is working safely and ensure reliable power restoration for our customers. After attempts to repair a damaged switch, the crew determined it must be replaced, which is arriving from Pensacola soon. Testing for newly installed equipment is underway and we continue to work on all restoration needs customers in Jackson, Liberty and Calhoun counties.

ATTENTION FPU CUSTOMERS:

Restoration Efforts Continue

FPU crews are assessing damage across Jackson, Calhoun and Liberty counties and working to restore power safely. Crews are addressing damaged feeder lines, removing debris, and making repairs throughout impacted areas, with priority given to critical community infrastructure, including public health and safety organizations. Restoration efforts are also underway across the broader electric system to prepare for service restoration. A significant portion of current outages depends on the restoration of a transmission substation that supplies the area and is being repaired in coordination with our utility partners.

You may not see crews directly in front of your property, but damage assessment and restoration work is actively underway across the system. Please keep roads clear and stay away from downed power lines, floodwaters and damaged equipment.

Restoration estimates will be shared when confirmed. To report an outage, visit Report an Electric Outage or call 800-427-7712.

ATTENTION FPU CUSTOMERS:

Florida Public Utilities (FPU) is closely monitoring Hurricane Isaias and preparing for potential impacts to our service areas. Isaias is forecast to make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast late Friday, bringing the potential for heavy rain, damaging winds, storm surge and flooding. The forecasted path of the storm suggests portions of our FPU service territory may be impacted.

We are prepared to respond to any potential service interruptions that may result from heavy rain and high wind. Our restoration plan calls for a priority focus on critical community infrastructure, such as public health and safety organizations. Damage assessment and restoration efforts will begin when conditions are safe to do so.
