In attempts to balance the greater electrical system and prevent extensive loss of power for our service area, URECC will begin rotating outages on a circuit basis of approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours per circuit in order to meet the load reduction requirements of the Southwest Power Pool (SPP).
*Priority will be given based on the Public Utility Commissions of Texas (PUCT) direction, and to support energy production first, community safety second, then individual needs where registered officially with the offices of URECC.
