Power Outages Not Expected In The Panhandle

With temperatures plummeting and snow falling throughout the Panhandle, Excel and Atmos Energy are not worried about power outages.

Xcel says while the cold weather snap has the area concerned, we should not be impacted because we are part of the Southwest Power Pool and not the Ercot grid.

Apparently, the Panhandle did have a lack of natural gas supply but this time there doesn’t seem to be any problems.

Atmos Energy says it’s making sure it has workers on stand-by and their system is running pretty fair right now, and they don’t expect any issues to pop up.
