We had a power outage in the Sinton area around 3:30 a.m. that affected about 250 members. Foggy conditions made it difficult to spot the problem, but our lineman had power restored for all members around 7:00 in the morning.

The power outage also affected SPEC’s office and the co-op’s generator did not work as it should have. This caused SPEC’s phone and email systems to go down. Also because of the outage, calls were not immediately re-routed to the co-op’s after-hours call center.

Some of our members may have had trouble reporting their outage and we apologize for the inconvenience. As of 8:45 a.m. our email system is back up and running and phone calls are now being routed to the call center. However, the SPEC office phone system is still not working. To report an outage, please call 1-888-740-2220. For other concerns, please send us an email at pr@sanpatricioelectric.org.

We understand that it’s frustrating to be without power. We want to thank all of our members for their patience and understanding during last night’s outage.
