Approximately 7,000 customers on North Padre Island will experience a brief power outage early Wednesday as AEP Texas makes needed repairs to substation equipment.
The temporary outage is scheduled to begin at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21, and is expected to last about 15 minutes, according to AEP Texas.
The company says the repairs are related to a power outage that affected the island earlier this month.
AEP Texas reminds customers that sensitive electronic equipment should be connected to surge protection devices as a standard practice.
