Don’t Know Which Electric Company You Have?
Tippecanoe County includes service territory for both Duke Energy Indiana and Tipmont REMC.
If you’re unsure which company serves your address, check a recent electric bill or account statement. During an outage, report the problem directly to the electric utility that provides service to your home or business.
My Neighbors Have Power, But I Don’t
An outage doesn’t always affect an entire neighborhood.
If nearby homes have electricity but yours does not, check whether you have a tripped breaker or another problem within your home.
If everything appears normal and you still don’t have power, report the outage to your electric provider. Don’t assume the utility already knows your individual service is out.
What If I See a Downed Power Line?
Stay away from it.
Never touch a downed line or anything that may be in contact with it, including trees, fences or vehicles. Keep other people and pets away as well.
Report the downed line to the electric utility. If the situation presents an immediate danger to people or property, call 911.
How Long Will the Power Be Out?
Restoration times depend on the cause and extent of the damage.
During major storms, utilities may be dealing with fallen trees, damaged poles and numerous outages at the same time. For example, Tipmont reported more than 6,000 members restored following severe weather in June 2026 while crews continued working on smaller outages and broken poles.
Check your provider’s outage map for the latest available restoration information rather than relying on an older social-media post.
