Xcel Energy Requests Urgent Power Reduction in New Mexico Counties
Xcel Energy is urging residents in parts of eastern and southeastern New Mexico to reduce their energy consumption immediately. The company has emphasized that this urgent reduction is necessary to maintain the stability of the electrical system and ensure consistent service for all customers.
Residents are asked to turn off lights, appliances, and air conditioning units unless they are essential for health reasons. The request specifically affects the counties of Lea, Roosevelt, Curry, De Baca, Guadalupe, Harding, Quay, and San Miguel.
This appeal is part of a broader effort by Xcel Energy, along with electric cooperatives across New Mexico, the Texas South Plains, and the Texas Panhandle, to manage energy demand and prevent potential disruptions in service.
