Why do I have a power outage in my area?

You could have a power outage in your area due to complications and fluctuations in the energy grid for your area. Such issues can be the result of inclement weather or higher-than-normal usage from increased heat or cold. You will need to speak with the Transmission & Distribution Service Provider (TDSP, also known as the utility company) for your area for more information, as the TDSP is the company that owns, maintains, and reads the lines, poles, and meters in your area.
