Comments 0 | Recommend 0March 30, 2009 9:05 PM
After wind knocked down a transmission line serving parts of Portales on Monday, 3,136 customers were without power for as long as almost 2 1/2 hours, Xcel Energy spokesmen said.
Spokesman Troy Foos said the power went off in stages, but the longest time before it was restored was two hours and 20 minutes. Spokesman Wes Reeves said power was back by about 5 p.m.
“We’ve had some wind issues across the whole system today,” Reeves said.
The wind caused several outages at once in the Portales and the Texas Panhandle, he said.
