- We've been directed by @SPPorg, to initiate temporary service interruptions to manage regional system load and avoid protracted power outages. It is urgent we all do our part to conserve power to help the region navigate this current situation and minimize further interruptions.
- As it stands today, this ice storm is the 2nd worst in our history. We have all hands on deck working on power restoration during the cold, wind and rain. During these times, the family members of our crews are their greatest and cutest support. Keep up the hard work #bigorange!
00:00 - Last night, crews restored power to all customers with outages related to yesterday's weather. We are monitoring today's weather and temperatures and have more than 1,000 restoration personnel on system to address any issues. #okwx
- We have restored power for 98% of customers who sustained an outage due to the recent historic ice storm. While we had hoped to wrap up restoration today, winds have delayed our efforts. Crews will continue to work through the night to restore power.
