Xcel Energy last week issued a news release to inform area residents the regional power grid is ready for cold weather.
“The reliability of our system is vital any time of year, but even more important during extreme cold,” Adrian Rodriguez said. Rodriguez is president of Xcel Energy – New Mexico, Texas.
The news release reports Xcel Energy has invested more than $3 billion in grid improvements over the past decade to strengthen the region’s electric system and boost power imports from neighboring states.
The news release added area power plants and wind farms were designed for cold weather and are continually being improved to withstand extreme temperatures.
