Historical outage patterns in Wisconsin
Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy)
contain 17,660 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Wisconsin between 2014 and 2025 across all 72 counties — 160 of them major events of 10,000+ customers.
Half were restored within about 2.5 hr, and county-level outages here have been most common in summer (38% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2019.
Largest single-county outage on record: ~89,708 customers out in Milwaukee County in March 2023, restored after about 31.5 hr.
Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: July 2019 (14 counties), April 2024 (10 counties) and May 2022 (10 counties).

historical records, not outages tracked live by this site. Statewide figures aggregate the same per-county records shown on each county page below;
the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month
produced one of its three largest recorded outages.
