About Con Edison Power Outages

Con Edison delivers electricity to New York City and Westchester County over one of the densest urban grids in North America. Much of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx sits on an underground network; Westchester still has plenty of overhead. A network event can darken a few blocks without a single pole in sight. Nor'easters, heat waves, and manhole issues are the usual suspects — not a statewide 'Con Ed is down' collapse.

Users do not select Con Edison. We count power reports from states where Con Edison appears, which also include upstate utilities and Long Island's PSEG Long Island. We are not Con Edison.

How to Report a Con Edison Outage

Use the Con Edison app or Check Outage Status on coned.com with the account number, phone, or address. Con Edison can text or call with restoration updates after you report. If the map shows no event, check the apartment panel and whether the building has a private riser issue versus a street-level network outage.

Why Con Edison Power Goes Out

In New York City and Westchester County, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical Con Edison patterns:

Underground network faults

A failed feeder or transformer in the secondary network can drop a city block while the next avenue still has lights.

Nor'easters in Westchester

Wet snow and wind take overhead Westchester circuits down even when the underground boroughs stay on.

Heat-wave peak load

Prolonged NYC heat stresses network transformers and can force localized interruptions on the hottest afternoons.

Manhole and street work incidents

Smoking manholes, contractor dig-ins, and vehicle-into-pole crashes on the mainland are common single-neighborhood causes.

Before You Call Con Edison

  1. Open Con Edison Check Outage Status or the Con Edison app on cellular data.
  2. See whether the whole building is dark or only your apartment panel.
  3. Ask a neighbor on the same floor and one on the street to separate riser vs network.
  4. Report in the app with the account phone so Con Edison can text restoration updates.
  5. Leave smoking manholes and downed lines to 911 and Con Edison field crews.
