ALPINE OPERATIONS AREA OUTAGES ⚡️⛈️

UPDATE (10:30 AM)- power has been restored to Terlingua and Lajitas.

UPDATE (9:30 AM)- Crews have located an issue with the Novas at Bone Springs, affecting members in the Terlingua and Lajitas areas. Shane Trussell stated a bucket truck is en route from Alpine, and repairs will be underway as soon as it arrives.

UPDATE (1:00 AM)- Per AOM Shane Trussell, power has been restored to the Altuda Substation and Big Bend National Park. He and the crews are continuing to patrol line to restore service to those members who are still without power.

UPDATE (11:30 PM)- Water has subsided, and crews have located a damaged arrestor at the substation. They are working to replace the equipment. Currently, we do not have an estimated time of restoration, but will update you as more information is provided.

(8:30 PM) We are currently experiencing wide spread outages in the Alpine Operations Area due to the storm. Area Operations Manager Shane Trussell reports that flooded roadways and muddy conditions are significantly slowing crews response time, but rest assured they are out making every effort to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Additional crews have been called in from our other RGEC area offices, and contractor crews are en route.

If you are experiencing an outage, please report the outage via SmartHub or by calling 800-749-1509.

We appreciate your patience as our crews work to restore power.
