Cleco's outage system uses historical averages to formulate the initial estimate you see on the outage map.

The outage map is available anytime not just during storms and is for informational purposes only. Where there’s an outage on Cleco’s system, you can see approximate restoration times; however, times are not guaranteed.

When you access the outage map, you will see circular colored icons (see “Legend”) which indicate the location of a specific outage. Since outages can affect varying numbers of Cleco customers, the icons are color coded according to the size of the outage.

When there’s an outage, the appropriate icon will be positioned in the affected area on the map. Click on the icon on the map to see the number of customers affected and estimated restoration date and time. When zoomed out, localized outages may be grouped together into one multiple outages icon.

There also is an option to see power outages by parish and zip code when you click on “Outage List" next to the address search bar.

In the bottom right corner of the map, click on the zoom in (+) or zoom out (-) buttons. With your mouse over the map, you also can use the scroll wheel if the mouse you are using has one.

Use the mouse to drag right, left, up or down to navigate to the specific location you want to view and click “+” button in the bottom right corner of the map or use the mouse scroll wheel. You also can search for your address by using the “Search” bar in the upper-left corner of the map.

The Estimated Restoration time is the amount of time we estimate it will take to restore your power. Initially, the time given is a prediction based on historical outage data. As more information becomes available, we may update the estimated restoration time, if needed. If an Estimated Restoration time is not yet available, you will see the words "Evaluating" in the estimated restoration time area.

The "Parish and Zip" outage list views show outages by parish and zip code, including customers affected, customers served and percentage of customers affected.

When looking at the map, you may not find an outage indicated directly over your home or business when you are without power. This is because one outage on the map may represent multiple homes and businesses. The map places the outage symbol near the location where the outage originated.

From the "Locations" view, you can click on a cluster of icons to zoom to a lower level of information concerning your outage.

In order to see weather on the map, you must click the "Weather” option on the left side of the outage map. If there is no weather impacting your area, you may need to zoom the map out to see approaching weather. To gauge the movement of any approaching weather check the “Loop” box.
