More than 500 linemen and 200 support personnel are actively working to restore power across our service area.

We extend a heartfelt thank-you to all the visiting crews who have left their own homes and families to spend their Sunday helping restore power to thousands of families they may never meet. We are incredibly grateful for your support.

As restoration efforts continue, approximately 49,000 CHELCO members remain without power.

OUTAGES BY COUNTY:

Okaloosa County: 9,508 members (42% without power)

Walton County: 39,081 members (73% without power)

Holmes County: 300 members (99% without power)

Santa Rosa County: 181 members (99% without power)

STAY SAFE:

Stay off the roads whenever possible.

If you must travel, slow down and watch for fallen trees and power lines. Please give our crews and contractors plenty of room to work safely.

Stay far away from downed power lines and always assume they are energized.
