| Utility information | Our restoration forecast |
|---|---|
| Official ETA, when the utility posts one | Independent estimated return window — 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 — we publish the results, including misses (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.
Track current power outages in Auburn, New York — customers reported out, restoration progress, active weather alerts, and an independent restoration estimate. Auburn is a city in Cayuga County; when the serving utility's public feed reports Auburn directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time, with the county-wide view as context.
Who serves Auburn — and how this estimate works
Serving utilities tracked for Cayuga County include RG&E (Rochester Gas & Electric). The estimate uses changes in the reported outage count, restoration progress, current weather, outage size, and available local history. It is independent and unofficial — when a utility posts an official restoration time, both are shown separately. We score our own estimates against what actually happened on the accuracy page. Outages below 5 customers are too small for a meaningful area-wide estimate — the page says so instead of guessing.
Common questions
When will my power be back on in Auburn, NY?
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 Auburn 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 Auburn, NY?
This page is a live power outage status check for the Auburn area: current customers out, the affected areas on the map, and an independent restoration forecast, refreshed about every 15 minutes from utility outage feeds and national county data. Your utility's own outage map remains the official word for your account.
How do I report a power outage in Auburn, NY?
Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Auburn is served by RG&E (Rochester Gas & Electric); use the utility's 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 Auburn specifically, or the whole county?
Both. When your serving utility's public feed reports Auburn directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time; otherwise it shows the Cayuga County county-wide view, which still covers Auburn.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when power actually came 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.
