About Duke Energy Power Outages

Duke Energy is one of the largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. The name on a bill may be Duke Energy Carolinas, Duke Energy Progress, Duke Energy Florida, or Duke Energy Indiana — this hub matches all of those provider names. A Carolinas ice storm, a Florida lightning burst, and an Indiana feeder lockout can all show up in the same 24-hour window because users do not pick a utility on the report form.

The number on this page is last-24-hour power reports from states where those Duke Energy names appear in our provider table, not a Duke ticket count. Confirm estimated restoration on the official outage map; this site does not dispatch crews.

How to Report a Duke Energy Outage

Use the Duke Energy app on cellular data, text OUT to 57801 from the phone number on the account, or open duke-energy.com/outages. Choose Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, or Ohio & Kentucky so the map matches the operating company on the bill. Downed lines belong with 911 first, then Duke. Estimated restoration is published only on Duke's map, not here.

Why Duke Energy Power Goes Out

In Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical Duke Energy patterns:

Carolinas tropical remnants

Landfalling hurricanes and leftover rain bands soak Piedmont clay and drop trees onto Duke Energy Carolinas and Progress feeders from the mountains to the coast.

Florida lightning and summer cells

Duke Energy Florida sees fast, local lockouts when afternoon thunderstorms hit Tampa Bay, the Nature Coast, and inland substations.

Midwest ice on Indiana circuits

Freezing rain loads Duke Energy Indiana lines and can take a rural tap down while a nearby town still has lights.

Vehicle strikes and suburban vegetation

A single pole hit or a limb on a 12 kV lateral can darken a subdivision even when the rest of the operating company is quiet.

Before You Call Duke Energy

  1. Check the Duke Energy app or Outage Map for your operating company (Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Ohio & Kentucky).
  2. Look outside: if neighbors are dark, it is a plant issue, not one breaker.
  3. Reset GFCI and the main breaker only if it is safe; do not stand in water.
  4. Text OUT to 57801 from the account phone, or report in the Duke Energy app on cellular data.
  5. Treat downed lines as live and call 911, then Duke Energy.
