Some generation is slowly returning.  ERCOT was able to direct utilities to restore 600,000 households last night.  2.7 million households still do not have power.

Keep in mind that even with as far as forecasting has come in the last several years, pinpointing to the hour the start/end times is difficult. Think of this as our best estimates. Be prepared for winter weather during these windows of time.

To protect the regional grid and maintain reliability, Xcel Energy, along with area electric co-ops and municipal utilities, have been forced to interrupt power to pre-selected electric circuits for up to one hour at a time until system conditions improve.

Unfortunately, the scenario we had hoped would NOT happen, has. The Southwestern Power Pool, which many electric utilities (including electric co-ops) are a part of in this region, has begun temporarily shutting down power, otherwise known as rolling black outs. (1/4)

Not a lot of change in our thinking for forecast snow/ice accumulations for the region. Precipitation onset expected late tonight, lasting into Wednesday. #txwx #dfwwx #ctxwx

Some PEC members are experiencing extended outages. Please know, we won’t rest until all members have electric service. Unfortunately, we cannot say when power will be restored. We ask for your patience over the next few days while we continue to work through these challenges.

Weather, more generation outages last night bring load shed to 18,500 MW. For today…generators to return, renewable output to increase = increased customer restoration.
