When will the power be back in Mexico, MO?
Our restoration forecast is independent and unofficial, never the utility's commitment. How it works · How accurate it has been
Mexico is a city of about 11,482 residents in Audrain County.
Ameren and Callaway Electric Cooperative have reported outages for Mexico by name on their own public outage map (most recently observed 2026-09-18) — so when Mexico is affected, this page can show the city's own customers-out count and restoration time rather than only the county-wide total.

Common questions
When will my power be back on in Mexico, MO?
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 Mexico's own record: across the 3 outages this site has tracked here, the typical (median) restoration ran an hour — the outage-history panel above lists them.
How do I check the power outage status in Mexico, MO?
To check your own street, search a Mexico ZIP code — 65265 — and the map opens on that area.
Does this page show Mexico specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Mexico we have the city-level view: Ameren and Callaway Electric Cooperative have published outages for Mexico under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-09-18. When Mexico is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Audrain County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Mexico.
