Lawrenceville runs its own electric utility. The City of Lawrenceville Electric Department, which brands itself Lawrenceville Power, “provides electric power to most of the citizens within the city limits,” according to its department page. Not every home in the city is on the city’s lines, and a Lawrenceville mailing address does not mean you are inside the city. Check the name on your power bill before you call.

Who to call

If the city is your power company

From the city’s electric FAQs:

  1. Check the map. The city’s outage map shows outages already reported.
  2. Report it. Use the online form or call 770-963-9834 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. After 5 p.m., call the emergency and after-hours number, 770-339-2410.
  3. Low or exposed wires, or an open transformer: call the same numbers, day or night. If a line is down, keep everyone away and call 911.
  4. Street light out: call Customer Service at 678-407-6675, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.

Disconnected for nonpayment? The city restores service only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays; it does not reconnect after hours, according to the FAQs. See the city’s late fees and disconnects page.

New smart meters. Lawrenceville Power is replacing every electric meter with an advanced (AMI) smart meter. The change needs a brief outage of less than five minutes, and customers with a medical concern about a short outage should call 678-407-6675, the city said in a February notice.

If Georgia Power is your company

Georgia Power customers report outages and track restoration on Georgia Power’s outage page, which links an online report form and the outage map. For a downed line, Georgia Power asks customers to call 1-888-891-0938 or 911 so the line can be barricaded.

If your bill comes from another company, such as an electric membership cooperative, use the outage number printed on your bill.
