About PowerOutageHistory

As a homeowner, I often found myself anxious about power outages, especially during storm season. I wanted to know how reliable my electricity was, but the information was scattered and hard to find. It struck me that many people must feel the same way—whether they’re renters, new homeowners, or just anyone concerned about their power supply. That’s when I decided to create PowerOutageHistory. I built a platform where users can access detailed power outage data for over 3,000 U.S. counties, covering the last 12 years. With just a county or ZIP code, anyone can look up their area's outage history and gain insights into reliability grades. I also included generator recommendations tailored to specific locations, so users can make informed decisions about their backup power needs. PowerOutageHistory is for anyone who wants peace of mind regarding their power supply. Whether you’re preparing for a storm, considering a generator, or simply curious about your area’s outage patterns, this tool is designed to help you navigate the uncertainties of power reliability. I wanted to empower people with the information they need to stay prepared and feel secure in their homes.
