Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 19, 7,878 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 2 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 1.9 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

How do I check the power outage status in Quincy, MA?

How do I report a power outage in Quincy, MA?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Norfolk County include Eversource, National Grid, Norwood Municipal Light Department; 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 Quincy specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Quincy we have the city-level view: Eversource and National Grid have published outages for Quincy under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-17. When Quincy is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Norfolk County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Quincy.
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.
