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 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.

Common questions

When will my power be back on in Santa Fe, TX?

Check the live power outage status at the top of this page.

How do I check the power outage status in Santa Fe, TX?

This page is a live power outage status check for the Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe ZIP code — 77510, 77517 — 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 Santa Fe, TX?

Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Galveston County include CenterPoint Energy — Houston Electric, Texas-New Mexico 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 Santa Fe specifically, or the whole county?

Both, and for Santa Fe we have the city-level view: Texas-New Mexico Power has published outages for Santa Fe under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-17. When Santa Fe is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Galveston County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Santa Fe.

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.
