Many times a power outage may last for a few minutes, a
few seconds or even just for an instant.
We recognize
nonetheless that setting blinking clocks and finding that
a VCR stopped taping a television show early can be frustrating
for our customers.
In years past, it was common for many outages to last far
longer than a few minutes.
The automated applications we
use now, however, detect outages right away and
our operations center staff re-routes power around an outage
area to as many customers as possible — sometimes
in just a few moments.
A complete fix of an outage commonly requires repair work
to be conducted by a PNM employee who travels to the location
where an outage started.
Our command center's re-routing
of electricity can significantly reduce the
number of customers affected by a lengthy outage.
