Xcel Energy Closely Monitoring Fire Risk

Xcel Energy is closely monitoring and preparing for forecasted severe weather with high winds and low relative humidity in our Texas and New Mexico service territory. Excessively dry conditions, high fuel loads such as dead or dry brush and trees and significant wind speeds across the region will create an elevated risk of wildfire, expected to peak in New Mexico today and tomorrow. Because of the high winds and associated wildfire risk in the forecast, some customers may experience power outages. Xcel Energy crews are on standby to restore power for customers quickly and safely if an outage does occur.
