As of Aug 26, 9,590 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 1.8 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 3.1 days), and we publish the misses.

Common questions

When will my power be back on in Del Rio, TX?

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 Del Rio 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 Del Rio, TX?

This page is a live power outage status check for the Del Rio 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 Del Rio ZIP code — 78840, 78841, 78842, 78847 — 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 Del Rio, TX?

Report it to your electric utility — crews are dispatched from customer reports. Utilities tracked in Val Verde County include Rio Grande Electric Coop Inc; 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 Del Rio specifically, or the whole county?

Both, and for Del Rio we have the city-level view: Rio Grande Electric Coop Inc has published outages for Del Rio under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-07-29. When Del Rio is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the Val Verde County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Del Rio.

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.
