At the height of the storm, about 12,000 customers across OUC’s electric service area in Orlando, St. Cloud and parts of Orange County were without service. Three contract crews from Georgia assisted with OUC’s storm restoration efforts. If customers did not report an outage and are still without power, they should call 407.823.9150 with their account or phone numbers ready. OUC thanks its customers for their understanding as the restoration process unfolded on Monday. Established in 1923 by a special act of the Florida Legislature, OUC—The Reliable One is the second largest municipal utility in Florida.
