Fire Mitigation Measures in Place

Fire mitigation measures have been implemented today for our entire service area until at least 9 PM due to a Red Flag Warning. We will keep you updated here regarding when we will return our system to its normal state.

When a Red Flag Warning is issued, it means wildfire danger is elevated. Because of the strong winds and dry conditions, Red Flag Warnings signal an increased risk of wildfires and the need for additional safety precautions. This is why High West Energy is following fire mitigation procedures.

Please remember that we are not intentionally shutting power off, but outage times may be extended due to these fire mitigation procedures. Please call our office at 307-245-3261 or 833-619-0867 to report any outages. Thank you for your understanding while we navigate this!

Confirm The Outage

Check the lights in other rooms as you may have only blown a fuse. If all your lights are off, then call us.

Call High West Energy

We’ll need to know your name and service address. If possible, it would also be helpful to have your meter number, account number and a phone number where we can reach you. Please remember the phones may be busy if the outage is significant. Keep trying to call as often as necessary to speak to a representative or leave a message. We will send a line crew to find the problem and restore power as quickly as possible.

Call 307-245-3261 or 888-834-1657

Protect Your Appliances

After you’ve called us, turn off any appliances you were using when the power went off, especially the stove, iron or power tools. Then turn off all large appliances, including space heaters, air conditioners, and water pumps. This will prevent your electrical circuits from being overloaded when power is restored. Finally, disconnect all sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and televisions to avoid damage from a power surge.

Your Safety Is Most Important

If you use a standby generator, be sure it’s installed and wired properly. Never connect a generator directly to your main electrical panel. Without the correct safety mechanisms, power from the generator could flow onto the power line and injure you or a High West employee.
