Winter storm season is here, so now is a great time to prepare for any type of power outage. Members can stay connected during outages by adding a cell phone number to their account. By doing this, members will be automatically opted in to Horry Electric’s MyOutage program. This outage text alert program provides a convenient way for members to report outages without having to call us. Members can also request status updates regarding their outage.

How does it work? The MyOutage number is 1-844-369-2767. Save this number to your contacts and text “OUT” to report an outage or “STATUS” for an update.

During the month of January, any member who adds a mobile number to their account to participate in the MyOutage program will be automatically entered into a prize drawing for one of five $50 electric bill credits. Members have until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 31 to enroll. The winners will be announced in early February. 

Members can add their cell phone number by logging into MyEnergy Online or by calling 843.369.2211. You also update all of your contact information by clicking here.

The limited-time offer is for NEW participants only. All member accounts are eligible to participate.  The contest rules are outlined below.
