Historical outage patterns in Illinois
Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy)
contain 29,219 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Illinois between 2014 and 2025 across all 102 counties — 175 of them major events of 10,000+ customers.
Half were restored within about 2.8 hr, and county-level outages here have been most common in summer (31% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2019.
Largest single-county outage on record: ~279,858 customers out in Cook County in August 2020, restored after about 5.4 days.
Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: June 2023 (16 counties), August 2020 (16 counties) and July 2024 (14 counties).
Where restoration has historically taken longest: Cook County (~12.5 hr typical), DuPage County (~5 hr typical) and Marshall County (~4.3 hr typical) — against ~2.8 hr statewide.

historical records, not outages tracked live by this site. Statewide figures aggregate the same per-county records shown on each county page below;
the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month
produced one of its three largest recorded outages.
