- Check your home's breaker panel (and any outdoor disconnects located below the meter) to make sure the outage is not due to a tripped breaker.
- Call your neighbors to see if their power is off. This will help you determine if the problem exists within your home, or on our lines.
- If you determine the problem is outside your home, call Mille Lacs Energy at (800) 450-2191 or (218) 927-2191. Do not assume that others have reported the outage.
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. Food should be kept for up to 48 hours in a freezer if the door remains closed. If the outage persists, cover your refrigerator or freezer with a blanket, make arrangements to store food at another location, or purchase dry ice.
- Turn off all electrical appliances that were on when the power went off, especially heat pumps, air conditioners, or electric heat. But leave a light on so you will know when power is restored.
