The advisory names your street. You never see it.
Your provider posts the outage to a page you do not follow. Outage Watch reads that page around the clock and tells you when your area is on it.
When an advisory goes up
- 6:14 PM
Your provider posts
A scheduled interruption for tomorrow — often an infographic listing several outages at once, different hours and different feeders.
- 6:51 PM
We read it
Our next sweep picks it up and pulls out the date, the hours, the feeders and the reason. We check every hour, around the clock.
- 6:51 PM
You find out
Your area is on the list, so the advisory reaches your Telegram — and your phone, if you want a text as well.
What you get
Only your areas
You pick the places that matter — a barangay, a street, a landmark. Nothing else reaches you.
The full advisory
Telegram gets everything the provider published: the date, the hours, the areas listed, the reason given.
A text when you are offline
One short summary per scheduled outage, leading with the affected feeder. No data connection needed.
What it covers
Power outages are the launch vertical, not the ceiling. Outage Watch is built as a general outage and advisory service — more providers, more regions, and more kinds of advisory are what comes next.
Live today: Albay, through ALECO.
What it costs
A free month to start, then a prepaid pass from ₱99 for 30 days. Passes do not auto-renew, so nothing is charged unless you choose it. Pricing is still moving while the service is in beta; anything you have already bought stays at the price you bought it.
Where it falls short
A reminder, not a flood
Your alert lands at noon the day before the outage. Further ahead, every upcoming outage is on your calendar within the hour of being posted.
It only knows what is published
If your provider never posts the outage, there is nothing for us to find. We add nothing of our own.
It is still in beta
People rely on it today, but it is changing — sweep frequency and pricing included.
Not affiliated with any provider. Outage Watch is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any electric cooperative or utility. We read their public advisory pages and tell you when your area is mentioned — we receive no data or feeds from them.
Questions
How often do you check for new advisories?
About once an hour, around the clock, so your outage calendar updates shortly after an advisory goes up rather than the very second it is posted. We will sweep more often as the service grows.
When will I get my alert?
At noon the day before the outage, so the reminder lands when it matters. An outage posted at the last minute is sent as soon as we see it, and every upcoming outage is on your calendar within about an hour of being posted.
Where do the alerts come from?
Your provider’s own public advisories. We read what they publish — we do not guess, predict, or add anything of our own.
Can I get alerts by text?
Yes. Every Starter pass includes SMS credits, and each scheduled outage costs one credit — a single summary text led by the affected feeder. You verify your number in the app first.
What if my provider never posts the advisory?
Then there is nothing for us to catch. We can only tell you about outages your provider actually announces.
What does it cost?
A free month to start, then passes from ₱99 for 30 days. Passes do not auto-renew, so you are never charged without choosing to.
