Editorial: Winter blast doesn’t ice CPS Energy

Kin Man Hui, San Antonio Express-News / Staff photographerWinter Storm Uri, but it’s understandable if anyone had flashbacks to that dreadful time two years ago.

Yes, there were many outages, and we are not diminishing the challenge of being without power. Early Wednesday morning, CPS Energy reported some 41,000 customers were without power. But this was due to ice weighing down tree limbs, not a statewide failure to adequately power the grid or a lack of local preparation. Before the winter storm hit, CPS Energy did an excellent job of communicating with ratepayers about the risks.

Thank you for the editorial piece, !
