Report an electric outage, view a list or map of current power outages and restoration statuses in our New York state service area, and access resources.
www.nyseg.comHere are the latest power outage updates I can summarize for you right now, with a focus on the U.S. and New York region.
-
US-wide outages: A major winter storm and heat-related events have caused large-scale outages in several states, with hundreds of thousands affected in some cases and widespread flight disruptions tied to the outages. Expect continued restoration efforts over the next 24–48 hours in affected areas.[1][2]
-
New York state: Regional utilities (including NYSEG and RG&E) have published restoration status pages and outage feeds. Restoration timelines can vary by county and neighborhood, with crews prioritizing critical facilities and heavily impacted pockets first. Follow local utility outage maps for the most up-to-date ETAs.[3][10]
-
San Francisco Bay Area: Notable outages have impacted tens of thousands in PG&E service areas, with crews working to restore service and streetlights affected in several neighborhoods.[2]
-
National outage tracking: Several platforms aggregate live outage data and map current incidents across the U.S.; these can help you see which areas are affected and approximate restoration times.[5]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest outage map links for Buffalo, NY specifically (your location) and provide an abbreviated, practical plan (what to expect, safety tips, and how to contact your utility). I can also set up a quick bullet-point checklist for when power returns (e.g., resetting breakers, checking appliances).
