What to do during a power outage in Alberta

Whether you live in an urban centre or rural Alberta, the actions you take in the first 30 minutes are the same. Identify if the outage is yours alone, protect what is at risk, and report what you know.

1. Check neighbours and breakers

If streetlights are on and neighbours have power, check your main breaker. If the whole block is dark, it is a grid event.

2. Call your distributor

Use the verified phone numbers above. Have your account number or service address ready. Report on this page’s map too.

3. Protect food and electronics

Unplug sensitive electronics. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed — food stays safe ~4 hours in a fridge, ~48 hours in a full freezer.

4. Stay warm safely

In winter, layer clothing and use blankets. Never use a gas stove or BBQ indoors. Generators must run outside, 6 m from doors and vents.
