Xcel Energy is preparing for potential Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) in the northern Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico due to a forecast of critical fire weather, including extreme winds, low humidity, and dry vegetation. The company stated that temporary power disconnections might be necessary on Tuesday, February 17, to ensure public safety and prevent wildfires. This measure is a proactive step to mitigate risks associated with strong winds damaging power lines and causing unplanned outages.
