Power outages

By TIMES STAFF WRITER
Published June 12, 2006


Tampa Electric is experiencing scattered outages throughout its service area.

Normal business has been suspended to focus on restoring power.

According to Rick Morera with Tampa Electric, this morning as many as 6,000 customers were without power at the height of the outages, but that number had been reduced to 3,100 by about 5 p.m. Monday evening.

To report a power outage, call Tampa Electric's dedicated outage number at (877) 588-1010.

Progress Energy says only a couple hundred of its customers in the Tampa Bay area are currently without power, though at the height of its power outages earlier today as many as 7500 customers were without power.
