Power Restoration

There's nothing routine when restoring power after a storm. Understanding our process can help ease your mind.

Outage Preparedness

It doesn't take a lot of money or time to prepare for a storm, but it does require some planning beforehand.

Emergency Kit Checklist

Coastal Electric has put together an extensive list of suggested supplies for your Emergency/Disaster Supply Kit.

Avoid Causing Your Own Outage

We think of storms, trees, and the occasional squirrel as the causes of power outages, but sometimes human behavior is to blame. That's why it's important to Call SC811 Before You Dig. With more utility companies delivering services underground, landscaping and excavating in your own yard can quickly turn into a dangerous, costly situation. Protect yourself and others with a call or click to 811. It's fast, free, and it’s the law!
