| Utility information | Our restoration forecast |
|---|---|
| Official ETA, when the utility posts one | Independent estimated return window when trend data allows — often available first |
| Utility-reported status & customer counts | Confidence range + whether the outage is growing, stable, or restoring |
How the forecast works: we analyze how quickly customers are being restored, whether the outage is still growing, current weather, outage size, and similar past outages in this area. Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Sep 3, 11,215 completed outages have been graded this way — typical (median) error 1.7 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 2.8 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.
Track current power outages in Augusta, Georgia — customers reported out, restoration progress, active weather alerts, and an independent restoration estimate. Augusta is a city in Richmond County; when the serving utility's own outage map reports Augusta directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time, with the county-wide view as context.
Augusta is a city of about 201,737 residents in Richmond County.
None of the utility outage maps we follow has yet listed an outage for Augusta by name, so this page reports the Richmond County county-wide view, which covers Augusta. If a serving utility does name Augusta during an outage, the city's own numbers appear here automatically.

Common questions
When will my power be back on in Augusta, GA?
It depends on the cause and how many crews are working. When's the Power Back? combines the live outage count, the current restoration rate, weather, and local history into an independent estimate for the Augusta area — shown even before your utility posts an official restoration time. Check the live power outage status at the top of this page.
How do I check the power outage status in Augusta, GA?
This page is a live power outage status check for the Augusta area: current customers out, the affected areas on the map, and an independent restoration forecast when enough trend data is available, refreshed about every 15 minutes from utilities' own outage maps and the federal government's county outage data. To narrow it to your own street, search a Augusta ZIP code — 30901, 30903, 30904, 30905, 30906, 30909, or any of the other 5 — and the map opens on that area. Your utility's own outage map remains the official word for your account.
How do I report a power outage in Augusta, GA?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Richmond County include Georgia Power; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Does this page show Augusta specifically, or the whole county?
Right now, the Richmond County county-wide view, which covers Augusta. No utility outage map we follow has yet listed an outage for Augusta by name; utilities here have so far reported only county-wide totals, or used area names we cannot match to Augusta. If that changes during an outage, the city's own count and restoration time appear here automatically. Grovetown (10 mi NW) is the closest place we track separately.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
