Officials with the City of San Antonio, CPS Energy, SAWS and VIA held a briefing Monday about coordinated efforts to keep people safe in the extreme heat.
— the entity that manages the state’s electric power — have said they don’t expect any system-wide outages like during the winter storm of 2021, but have asked customers to conserve.Garza said ERCOT has hit six new peaks for usage so far this summer and CPS Energy has set one new peak record and said even little efforts can make a difference on these extreme demand days.He urged customers during the peak hours of 2-8 p.m.
Garza said if rolling blackouts did become necessary, they would only be for 15 minutes and would be more equitable than in the winter of 2021 due to improvements within their system.If customers are not already receiving texts or other communications from CPS Energy, he urged them to call customer service at 210-353-2222 and update their contact information.
Water pumping at our desalination plant and Aquifer Storage and Recovery at H2Oaks Center will be turned off but will not affect water availability for customers.VIA Metropolitan Transit is providing free bus service to any of the city’s cooling stations. VIA workers will also be driving around and providing water to people waiting at bus stops, Tremell Brown, the Vice President of safety, training and system security for VIA said during Monday’s briefing.
