Common questions
When will my power be back on in Tampa, FL?
It depends on the cause and how many crews are working; the live status at the top of this page shows the current outlook. For context from Tampa's own record: across the 5 outages this site has tracked here, the typical (median) restoration ran 9 hours — the outage-history panel above lists them.
How do I check the power outage status in Tampa, FL?
To check your own street, search a Tampa ZIP code — 33601, 33602, 33603, 33604, 33605, 33606 or any of the other 52 — and the map opens on that area.
Does this page show Tampa specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Tampa we have the city-level view: Tampa Electric has published outages for Tampa under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-21. When Tampa is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Hillsborough County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Tampa.
