Weather permitting, AEP Texas will temporarily deenergize the North Padre Island substation beginning at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21, to make needed repairs safely to some substation equipment. Residents can expect an approximately15-minute service interruption.
These repairs are associated with the power outage that affected the Island in early May.
The outage will affect approximately 7,000 customers.
AEP Texas reminds customers that sensitive electronic equipment should be connected to surge protection devices as a standard day-to-day practice. Customers with questions should call the AEP Customer Operations Solutions Center at (877) 373-4858.
