Current Conditions

Conditions are normal on CoServ's system.

CoServ is actively monitoring weather conditions – we are on call and ready to serve!

Here are a few ways we have prepared for these Texas cold snaps:

Increased on-call staffing during weather events

 Smart grid upgrades that can more accurately detect outages

 Upgraded capacity on power lines

 Increased storage capacity for gas

These investments mean we are ready for any severe winter weather that may arise.

Ice that accumulates on electrical power lines can add significant weight, causing them to sag or break, leading to power outages, especially if combined with strong winds. CoServ has crews on standby 24/7 to respond to outages as safety and quickly as possible.

It's essential to plan for potential power outages. Although it's difficult to predict when an outage might happen, it's best to prepare in advance. Visit our weather safety page for tips on creating a plan that works for you and your household. Taking action now will help you stay prepared and ready for a power outage.
