Want updates about outages?
We’ll text or email you outage alerts if you sign up through SmartHub!

First, you need a SmartHub account. Make sure you have your Bon Homme Yankton Electric account number on hand and the device you want to receive notifications on, to ensure you can complete the process in one sitting.
