Extreme cold has slowed the flow of natural gas fuel to power plants in the central U.S. including Xcel Energy power plants in Texas and New Mexico, limiting output at a time of record energy demand, according to a news release.

If customers experience a service interruption of more than one hour, they should contact 1-800-895-1999 or report the outage at xcelenergy.com or through the Xcel Energy customer app.
