Tips to Avoid Energy Scams

Some scammers will contact you and offer to restore power quickly or in a preferential order if you make an immediate payment. These scams typically occur after major storms or disasters that cause widespread outages. We will never request or require payment to restore power after a natural disaster or storm. If post-storm repairs to customer-owened equipment are necessary, we will advise you to work with a licensed contractor. If any charges are applicable, you will be billed through your account.
