Kansas City Power Restoration Update | Kansas City News

Power outages in Kansas City, Kansas linger after last week’s catastrophic storms, with over 2,800 homes still without electricity. The Board of Public Utilities is working through extensive, localized damage — now requiring hours to restore power to just a few homes at a time — despite replacing 173 utility poles, more than double the number from a similar storm in 2017. Crews are prioritizing safety, urging residents to stay 35 feet away from downed lines and to call BPU once personal equipment like meters or masts is repaired before reconnection. For those unable to stay with loved ones, the BPU offers resources on their website. They’re asking for patience as they push deeper into the hardest-hit areas — no one is left behind until every light comes back on.
