AEP Restores San Angelo Outage as Texas Grid Worries Continue
AEP Texas restored power to nearly all Tom Green County customers early Wednesday after a substation equipment failure cut service to about 7,800 in San Angelo Tuesday, local reports said. The outage came as parent company American Electric Power faces scrutiny over surging Texas demand and a $78 billion capital plan. Fewer than five customers remained without power by 6 a.m. CDT, according to the utility’s outage map.
