Is there a Appalachian Power power outage right now?

We cannot see Appalachian Power's power grid, so this page cannot tell you whether the power is on at your address. It shows reports from people in Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee over the last 24 hours, by area, and links to Appalachian Power's official outage map (https://outagemap.appalachianpower.com/), which shows the outages Appalachian Power knows about and when it expects power back.

It only tells you whether Appalachian Power's official outage map answers our checks. "Up" means the map is loading, not that your power is on. During big storms the map can be slow or fail because so many people check it at once; then the reports on this page are the next best guide.

Report it to Appalachian Power directly, through its outage map, app, website or outage phone line, so a crew is sent. Reporting it here lets people near you see they are not alone, but it does not reach Appalachian Power.

Appalachian Power (AEP) supplies electricity in Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. Not every part of those states is covered: if you are not sure who supplies your power, look at your electricity bill.

Outage maps refresh every few minutes and only show outages the utility has detected or been told about. A single home or one transformer may not appear until someone reports it, so check your breakers, then report it even if the map is clear.

A closed fridge keeps food safe for about 4 hours. A full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours, a half-full one for about 24. Throw away perishable food like meat, milk and leftovers that has been above 40°F (4°C) for more than 2 hours. When in doubt, throw it out.
