Outage risk
Why Lebanon loses power
The storms and grid conditions behind most outages in the Willamette Valley, and what they mean for backup power at home.
Valley ice storms
Freezing fog and ice storms settle into the valley floor. The January 2024 storm left homes across the valley without power for days.
Windstorms off the Coast Range
Fall and winter fronts push strong gusts across open farmland and into neighborhoods with tall trees.
Fire-season line settings
In high-risk areas, utilities switch to more sensitive line settings during fire season. Lines shut off faster when something touches them, which prevents fires but can mean more frequent summer outages.
Backup power
How long a battery lasts in Lebanon
Grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage. A home battery keeps your essentials running automatically, with no fuel and no noise, and solar recharges it every day the grid is down.
- Essentials on one battery
- ~20 hrs
- Solar recharge, December
- 7.5 kWh/day
- Solar recharge, July
- 38.2 kWh/day
Assumes a 10 kWh battery, essentials averaging 0.5 kW (refrigerator, lights, internet, furnace fan, phones) and a 7 kW array, using NREL PVWatts production data for Lebanon. In December, solar covers about 62% of a day of essentials, so winter outages lean on the battery.
