AEP Texas postpones planned power outage in Flour Bluff
Editor’s note: This story was updated after AEP Texas announced shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday that the power outage will be rescheduled.
A power outage in Flour Bluff that was planned for Thursday will be rescheduled, AEP Texas said.
The power outage, which will affect 2,400 Flour Bluff residents, was set to begin around 5 p.m. Thursday and last one to five minutes.
The momentary outage was rescheduled just prior to the scheduled time, AEP Texas said in a tweet.
The outage will allow AEP Texas crews to safely switch one circuit from one area substation to another. Electronic equipment should be connected to surge protection devices as a standard day-to-day practice.
Residents affected by the “blink,” or brief outage, will receive a broadcast voicemail phone message the day before the rescheduled event, AEP Texas said in a tweet.
This is not a city project and is not connected to the cold front.
