Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the outage information come from?

From BENECO's public advisories (scheduled maintenance and unscheduled interruptions). Outage Scout reads them as they're posted and shows them on the map and for your areas. It isn't affiliated with BENECO; for emergencies or to report an outage, contact BENECO directly.

How do I check whether the power is out where I am?

On Home, tap "Check outages at my location" and allow location access, or choose your barangay from the list. Your location is used on your phone only.

How do I get alerts for my area?

Add your barangay to your watchlist (the Areas tab), sign in (Apple or Google), then tap the bell on that area. Alerts are sent to your email; manage them under Areas → Alert settings.

The app says "Might be ongoing". What does that mean?

BENECO hasn't posted that power is back yet. It may already be restored; check BENECO's page, and if your power is back you can tap "Report power is back" to let others know.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Home → More → Delete account. See the privacy policy for what that removes.

Contact Support

For help, feedback, or data deletion requests, email [email protected], or use Home → More → Report an issue in the app. We typically respond within 24 to 48 hours.
