    The Damage Prevention Bill for Texas (House Bill 2295) took effect October 1998, and is known as Utilities Code Title 5, Chapter 251. This law requires most facility owners to join a notification (or one call) center and requires excavators to call 48 hours prior to digging. It also requires any notification or one call center operating in Texas to share messages they receive between the notification centers. This provision is to ensure that excavators need only make one call to notify most buried facility owners. The Dig Safely program was introduced nationwide in June 1999. Its purpose is to help protect underground utility lines from damage by excavators, and protect excavators from the effects of damage to underground lines.

        In reviewing our reliability performance, we have identified several areas that tend to experience power outages affecting large numbers of customers due to the exposure of our overhead electric lines to weather (wind, rain, lightning), trees and animals. This program is being implemented to replace or convert portions of our overhead electric distribution system with underground lines and equipment to improve electric service reliability in these areas.

February 2021 Winter Storm:

The state of Texas experienced extreme cold temperatures and dangerous conditions caused by winter storm Uri throughout the week of Sunday, February 14. On Monday, February 15, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) reported record-breaking electric demand and higher-than-normal generation outages and limited natural gas supplies. ERCOT instructed utilities, including CPS Energy, to shed load and implement controlled outages to limit electric demand to available generation supply with the goal to prevent statewide blackout. Local utilities, including CPS Energy, were limited in our ability to rotate outages due to the magnitude of generation unavailability and the number of circuits with critical load.

Actions from San Antonio Committee on Emergency Preparedness:

Mayor Ron Nirenberg announced on February 22, 2021, the formation of the City of San Antonio’s Committee on Emergency Preparedness (CEP) to report to the community on emergency operations and public utilities performance during the winter storm the previous week. Information about the committee, including their final report, is available here.

CPS Energy is taking actions to address the recommendations of the CEP and to improve preparedness and the Resiliency of our system and operations. Formal reports are given to the Municipal Utilities Committee during their monthly meetings.
