McKinney Power Outage Today: Localized Disruptions Reported as Officials Monitor Service
McKINNEY, Texas — Residents searching for information about a power outage in McKinney on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, should rely on current utility information, as available data indicates that some outages were being recorded in the wider Collin County area.
The latest outage information for Oncor Electric Delivery showed 44 customers without power across Collin County at the time of the update. However, the available county-level data did not identify those affected customers as being specifically within McKinney.
Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility serving much of the McKinney area. Its outage system provides updates on reported interruptions, restoration activity and, when available, the cause of an outage. The company says outage information is sent to its online map approximately every 10 minutes.
There was no verified report in the sources reviewed of a major emergency, injuries, fatalities or a separate active investigation connected to a widespread McKinney power outage today. Consequently, claims that emergency responders have been mobilized specifically because of a major electrical incident in McKinney should be treated cautiously unless confirmed by local authorities or the utility.
Residents who are currently without electricity can report an outage to Oncor or check the status of an existing report through the utility’s outage system. Oncor also provides outage updates through its MyOncor alert service.
Anyone who encounters a downed power line should stay away from it and call 911, rather than approaching or attempting to move the line. Oncor specifically warns that downed lines can remain energized and present a serious danger.
At the time of publication, the available evidence points to localized electricity interruptions rather than a confirmed major McKinney-wide power emergency. Conditions can change quickly, so residents should continue monitoring Oncor and the City of McKinney for official updates.
