OUTAGE UPDATE (3:50 PM): Our crews continue working around the clock to safely restore power following the extensive damage caused by Friday night’s storms. We have made significant progress throughout the weekend, but restoration work continues across affected areas of our community.
Overnight, crews repaired more than 100 downed wires and continue addressing approximately 230 more. Currently, 480 outages are affecting approximately 11,700 customers. To accelerate restoration efforts, we have more than doubled the number of personnel working in the field, including outside contract crews supporting our teams.
As restoration progresses, many of the remaining outages involve more complex or localized damage, including damaged poles, transformers, lines, and other equipment. In some areas, downed trees and debris must also be cleared before our crews can safely access electrical infrastructure and complete repairs. Our Customer Response Unit (CRU) also remains mobilized and is assisting customers in some of the areas with the greatest storm impacts.
Customers who remain without power should continue using their emergency backup plans or make arrangements to stay somewhere cool and safe. All six City of San Antonio Resilience Hubs remain open for residents experiencing extended outages, providing a cool place to stay, basic supplies, power and device charging, free Wi-Fi, and separate areas for pets. VIA Metropolitan Transit continues to provide free transportation to Resilience Hubs and daytime cooling locations.
We continue working closely with the City of San Antonio - Municipal Government as recovery efforts move forward.

We thank our customers for their continued patience and understanding as our crews work safely to restore power across our community.
