As of 11 p.m. on Friday (May 16), more than 14,250 Dominion Energy customers in Alexandria are experiencing a power outage following severe thunderstorms that passed through the area earlier this evening.
Dominion Energy’s outage map does not have an estimated time of restoration for most of the outages with many stating that the outages are pending investigation and awaiting assignment. Dominion Energy serves more than 70,000 customers in Alexandria.
The City of Alexandria issued a press release stating that it is working to address the impacts of this evening’s thunderstorm activity.
The Department of Recreation, Parks, and Cultural Activities has prioritized clearing roads of debris and removing downed trees. Residents are reminded to stay at least 30 feet away from downed poles and power lines and report it by calling 866-DOM-HELP
The City encourages residents to stay up to date on the Dominion Energy Outage Map for an estimated restoration timeline when one is available. There are three easy ways to report outages and track restoration times: 1) on the mobile iPhone and Google apps; 2) the Dominion Energy website; or 3) by calling 866-DOM-HELP (866-366-4357).
