Approximately 1,000 of our customers are experiencing true outages that are not due to the peak demand outages (they will require repairs made on-site by KPUB.

The largest is an outage in Comanche Trace affecting ~300 customers).

The next areas that will experience peak demand service interruptions will be at:-Harper Rd Substation (700 block of Junction Hwy, Westtowards Ingram)-Jack Furman Substation (Ingram East of Blue Ridge)-Stadium Substation (Sidney Baker/Main HEB area).

Rotating outages are controlled, 30 to 60-minute or longer temporary interruptions of electrical service.
