Who Can Help In a Power Outage? The Role of Your TDSP

When you receive electricity at your home, there's a lot more involved than just the energy you purchase from your retail provider. The behind-the-scenes players in this process are the Transmission and Distribution Service Providers (TDSPs), who are responsible for delivering electricity to your home through an extensive infrastructure network.

What Does a TDSP Do?

Your TDSP handles the maintenance and operation of the infrastructure that brings electricity to your doorstep. This includes:

• Wires
• Transformers
• Poles

These components are essential for the delivery of electricity, ensuring it reaches you safely and efficiently. TDSPs are also the entities you should contact in case of power outages or issues with downed power lines.

Reporting Outages and Issues

Since TDSPs manage the delivery infrastructure, it's crucial to report any power outages or downed lines directly to them. They have the tools and resources to address these issues promptly.
