AEP restores power to most of Laredo after morning outages
LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Nearly all Laredo residents have had their power restored, according to AEP. Early Tuesday, more than 5,000 customers were without electricity due to outages that began around 4 a.m.
The affected areas included:
- North Laredo (off Del Mar and Springfield)
- Mines Road area
- South Laredo
Cause of the Outages
AEP spokesperson Danny Treviño explained that tree interference with power lines caused the disruptions.
“The ice on the branches makes them very heavy, causing them to sag onto the lines more than usual, which leads to outages,” Treviño said.
Potential Risks & Safety Warnings
- Power outages may still occur if generators or heaters run for extended periods.
- Residents are urged to stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately.
To report an outage, contact the AEP Hotline Outage at 866-223-8568 or visit their website.
Thousands of Laredoans are without power due to the icy conditions.
Power outages have been reported in Mines Rd. near Quail Creek. In North Laredo in the Regency Park and Del Mar area, as well as in central Laredo near Las Cruces and Springfield areas, and along Guadalupe St. near Market St. South Laredo was also affected, near the Los Presidentes and Pecan Acres area, and further south in Las Colonias, and El Eden subdivisions.
According to the AEP website, power is expected to be restored between 1 and 1:30pm this morning.
