There are many causes of power outages - wind, ice and snow, lightning, animals, trees that grow into or fall over onto power lines, construction damage to underground lines, traffic accidents affecting power poles, equipment failure and more.

Major storms or other natural disasters sometimes cause major outages - affecting a large number of customers over an extended period of time. In general, Kentucky Power defines a "major outage" as one that lasts more than 24-hours and requires the extra assistance of utility crews from outside the local area.
