RushShelby Energy works hard to keep outages to a minimum, but there are times when mother nature can take a turn for the worse. Thunderstorms, ice storms, tornadoes, flash floods and other natural catastrophes can knock out electrical service; they can also put life and property in peril.
No matter how severe the storm, you can rest assured that RushShelby Energy won’t leave you in the dark during these trying times. Not only are our employees working hard to ensure your power is restored in a timely manner, we are committed to providing you up-to-date information during outage situations.

Reporting An Outage
It’s important for you to know the correct procedures for reporting an outage if one should occur.
Before You Report
If your service is interrupted:
First check your fuses or breakers to make sure the problem is not your own
Check to see if your neighbors have service
Have your meter or account number ready before calling
Reporting An Outage
Call
Our 24-hour automated outage-reporting system at (800) 284-3452 is a simple way to report your outage. This system works on caller ID technology, so it’s important that we have current telephone numbers on file and that you call from the location with the outage.
If the system does not recognize the phone number, you can leave a detailed message about the outage location. You may experience a busy signal when calling during a major outage.
