Austin Energy is asking customers in southwest Austin to conserve energy until 8 pm Friday to prevent a repeat of the power outage in the area Thursday night.in the Oak Hill area of southwest Austin, Austin Energy 's CEO Bob Kahn asked customers to conserve energy because of Thursday’s power outage s, when about 6,400 people had their lights and air conditioning knocked out by a problem Austin Energy is still diagnosing. What we do know is that a transformer at a substation went offline.
If Austin Energy cannot get the transformer online again, they are bringing in a temporary transformer - - but that takes 24 hours to set up. All customers who lost power in southwest Austin Thursday have since been restored after the utility routed energy around the failed transformer. But Austin Energy CEO Bob Kahn told reporters high demand could overload the temporary fix and that is why the utility is asking people to take conservation measures like raising the thermostat a few degrees and avoid using big appliances like your oven.
