Oncor prepares for icy weather
With near-freezing
temperatures in the forecast,
Oncor has begun preparations
for possible icy conditions by
keeping a close eye on the
weather and alerting crews to be
ready to restore power.
In the event of a major power
outage, Oncor's first priority is
to restore electricity to
emergency public service
agencies, such as police and fire
departments, and hospitals. The
next priority is to restore power
safely to as many customers as
possible with each repair.
Consumers are urged to follow
these helpful tips to stay safe
and speed restoration:
• Safety
Always avoid downed power
lines. Any downed line should
be considered energized and
therefore dangerous. Report
downed lines immediately by
calling the number on your
electric bill and stay out of the
immediate area. If you are
trapped inside a vehicle, stay
inside the car. Call 911 for
assistance.
Avoid debris that may conceal
downed power lines and make
sure there are no downed lines
before allowing children out to
play.
Steer clear of Oncor crew work
areas. Equipment and energized
lines may be in the area that
could create a safety hazard.
When driving, watch for crews
working along the roadways, and
obey all traffic signs and
directions around work areas.
Don't attempt to make repairs
to Oncor's electrical system or
pull limbs off lines.
Be careful when using portable
heaters or other supplemental
heating. Never place heaters near
flammable materials or where
they might tip over. Use fire
screens to prevent sparks and
embers from causing problems.
Exercise extreme caution if
using candles during a power
outage. Always keep candles
away from flammable objects
and never leave them burning
unattended.
• Restoration
If your power goes out, don't
assume the electric company
knows - call the phone number
on your electric bill.
Leave porch lights on to show
Oncor crews where power has
been restored.
Be patient. When major
outages occur, Oncor crews
focus on restoring power to
transmission lines and
distribution lines that feed
neighborhoods before working
on distribution lines that feed
directly to homes and
businesses. However, be assured
that Oncor crews are working as
quickly and safely as possible to
restore power to customers.
To be prepared, keep
flashlights, battery-operated
radios, and a supply of food and
water close by.
If the weather interrupts
electrical service, customers are
urged to call the number on their
electric bill. This line is
answered by an automated
system designed to handle power
outage calls. The most efficient
way for customers to report
outages is to leave all
information on this system.
Oncor is a regulated electric
distribution and transmission
business that uses superior asset
management skills to provide
reliable electricity delivery to
consumers. Oncor operates the
largest distribution and
transmission system in Texas,
providing power to 3 million
electric delivery points over
more than 102,000 miles of
distribution and 14,000 miles of
transmission lines. While Oncor
is owned by a limited number of
investors (including majority
owner, Energy Future Holdings
Corp.), Oncor is managed by its
Board of Directors, which is
comprised of a majority of
independent directors.
