We are preparing for critical wildfire risks Friday, March 14th across our New Mexico and Texas service territories and notifying customers in specific areas that temporary Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) will likely be implemented to enhance public safety. Weather forecasts predict high wind speeds and low humidity across our Texas and New Mexico service territories. These conditions, combined with excessively dry conditions and an abundance of dead or dry brush and grass, are expected to increase wildfire risk.

We encourage customers to make plans now for potential power outages, especially if they use medical equipment that relies on electric service. As we prepare to perform a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in targeted areas if needed, crews must inspect every line and piece of equipment for damage before power is restored.

To see if you may be affected by a PSPS event, view outage maps, and learn more about PSPS preparation, visit https://xcelener.gy/422ZOWY

Help supply your local Fire Departments for this wildfire season‼️

The wildfire danger will increase tremendously with the warmer weather and the high violent winds. Always stay alert, be prepared, and watch for advisories. Never travel to go look at a wildfire. It’s not only dangerous for you, but it’s also dangerous for the first responders to have people in dangerous restricted areas.

Donations are extremely welcomed and appreciated at your local fire departments. Donations help make sure all first responders have necessary items to stay hydrated and energized.

Here is a list of items that are always needed and useful.
🥤Drinks (ex: Gatorade/Propel/Sodas/Energy Drinks)
🥜Snacks (ex: Beef Jerky/Nuts/Crackers/Protein Bars/Granola Bars/Pretzels)
💦Hydration Powders
👀Eye Wash
😁Facial Wipes
💋Chap Stick
🤦‍♀️Pain Reliever (ex: Tylenol/Advil)
🪟 Window Cleaner & Paper Towels

Monetary donations for repairs, maintenance and fuel are always greatly appreciated as well!
