Where this data comes from
Numbers on this page come from Avista's public outage data — the same data behind its official outage map — collected on a rotating cycle (each utility typically refreshes within the hour; the card above shows exactly when these numbers were last collected). When the utility posts a restoration time we show it as the official estimate; our independent estimate is computed from the outage's own recovery trend and graded publicly. Coverage and level of detail vary by utility: some break out towns and neighborhoods, others publish only county or area totals.
Not affiliated with Avista. Report outages and downed lines to the utility directly via its official outage site ↗ — never rely on this page for emergencies.
Common questions
How do I report a power outage to Avista?
Report outages and downed lines directly to Avista through its official outage site or its outage phone line — crews are dispatched from customer reports. This page is an independent tracker, not affiliated with Avista; never rely on it for emergencies. In a life-threatening situation, call 911.
Does Avista give an estimated restoration time?
When Avista posts an estimated restoration time for an outage, we show it as the official estimate. Alongside it we show our own independent estimate from the outage's live recovery trend — useful when the utility hasn't posted a time yet. Both appear side by side.
Why isn't my outage showing for Avista?
A brand-new or single-customer outage may not appear in the utility's public data yet, and the level of detail varies — some Avista data breaks out towns and neighborhoods, other sources publish county or area totals only. If your power is out and it isn't listed, report it to Avista so it enters their system.
How accurate is the Avista restoration estimate?
Our independent estimates are graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), published on our accuracy page. Avista's own posted restoration times are graded there too, so you can compare them.
