AEP Texas Responds to Outages Across South Texas

Update: 1/21/2025 12:49 PM CT

Crews are responding to outages across south Texas Tuesday morning after an arctic front brought precipitation and the coldest temperatures of the season to the AEP Texas service territory.

At 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, approximately 15,900 customers are without power, down from a peak of 30,000 outages early Tuesday morning.

The largest groups of customer outages are in the following locations:

  • Port Aransas – 5,700
  • Hebbronville – 1,800
  • Palmview – 3,900

All AEP Texas personnel will continue to respond to outages as they occur. Crews continue to make progress restoring electric service to all areas.

Customers are urged to remember the following safety messages as this weather continues over the next 48 hours:

  • All downed power lines should be considered energized and dangerous. Do not touch anything in contact with the line, such as trees, fences, or puddles of water. Keep children and pets inside during and after the storm. Stay at least 10 feet away from any downed power line.
  • If you plan to use a portable generator, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Customers on life support systems or other medical equipment that rely on electricity should have a solid backup plan for areas where prolonged outages may occur.

Nuestros equipos están respondiendo a las interrupciones desde la mañana del martes, después de que un frente ártico trajera precipitaciones y las temperaturas más frías de la temporada al área de servicio de AEP Texas.

Aproximadamente 15,900 clientes están sin luz desde las 12:30 p.m., una disminución significativa, ya que había 30,000 interrupciones temprano en la mañana. 

Las áreas más afectadas por interrupciones se encuentran en:

  • Port Aransas - 5,700
  • Hebbronville - 1,800
  • Palmview - 3,900

Todo el personal de AEP Texas continuara respondiendo a las interrupciones de luz. Nuestros equipos siguen avanzando con las restauraciones de servicio eléctrico a todas las áreas.

Les urgimos a los clientes que sigan estos consejos de seguridad en las próximas 48 horas:

  • Todas las líneas eléctricas caídas deben considerarse energizadas y peligrosas. No toque nada que esté en contacto con la línea, como árboles, cercas o charcos de agua. Mantenga a los niños y mascotas dentro de la casa durante y después. Mantenga al menos 10 pies (3 metros) de distancia de las líneas eléctricas caídas.
  • Si planea usar un generador portátil, siga las instrucciones del manual.
  • Los clientes que dependen de equipos médicos o sistemas de soporte vital que requieren de electricidad deben tener un plan de respaldo en caso de largas interrupciones.
