During a widespread outage, power is normally restored in the following order to get the largest number of customers on as quickly as possible:

• » Substations
• » Main feeder lines
• » Other three phase lines
• » Single phase lines
• » Single transformers
• » Single customers

Most portable generators are only powerful enough to run a few necessary appliances in your home. You should never plug your generator into an outlet in your home. If a generator is connected to an outlet in your home, the electricity can travel out onto the Electric Department's lines and through transformers creating a life-threatening situation for North Little Rock Electric employees trying to restore power.

However, generators can be used if connected properly. Please contact someone in the Engineering Department at 372-0100 for instruction on how to do this.

Your neighbor could be served off of a different transformer or main line. For instance, your service could come from a line in the back of your house, and your neighbor across the street could be served from a line running along the street in front of your houses. In the event that your power hasn't been restored but your neighbor's has, please call to report this.
