Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- National Grid is putting power outage and storm information in the palm of your hand. The utility company has gone mobile.
Customers can now access
NationalGrid.com on their mobile devices. Customers will now be able to get information about service interruptions, check out outage maps, report an outage, check the status of an outage and view restoration information – all on their mobile device.
“So long as you have a mobile device and access to National Grid, you can actually look at outage information on your phone and report an outage as well,” said National Grid’s Virginia Limmiatis.
