Xcel Energy is preparing for heightened wildfire risk in eastern New Mexico due to unseasonably warm, dry conditions, high winds, and low humidity. The company warns of possible Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) starting Tuesday, February 17th, potentially impacting customers who rely on electrically powered medical equipment. Additionally, Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings will be active, and high winds could cause unplanned outages even outside of PSPS events.
