We are preparing for severe weather impacts to our service area. If you’re evacuating, especially if due to flooding risk, we recommend turning your electricity off at the main breaker while your home is still dry. This helps protect your electrical system from damage, supports your personal safety and improves restoration time. Please do not turn off your natural gas service at the meter. Natural gas appliances have safety valves that will shut off the flow of natural gas automatically if the pilot light goes out. Please visit our Storm Center for important safety tips and to register for outage and restoration notifications.
One of Tampa Electric's primary objectives is to provide safe, reliable, and economical electrical service to all customers. Maintaining reliability of electrical service requires unobstructed, around-the-clock, all-weather access for constructing, operating, and maintaining power lines, facilities, and rights of way.
