Wake up this morning to property damage from storms? Was your home or business impacted by this weekend’s severe weather?
Report storm damage online here: damage.tdem.texas.gov
This helps officials assess the extent of impacts & identify resource needs to support communities.
After last night’s severe storms, OPUC continues to monitor recovery efforts, specifically power restoration. We know many residential and small business customers are still without power. If you have a power outage, please report it directly to your local distribution provider.
Additionally, while the weather has stabilized across much of the state, please continue to be vigilant and cautious. Remember to not approach any downed power lines and treat them as if they are energized.
If you need help with utility assistance or encounter rate issues following the storm, please contact us at 512-936-7500 or [email protected].
Thank you to all frontline line workers, road crews, first responders, and others who have been working and continue to work in inclement weather conditions to keep all of us safe and warm!

Be cautious of false information and entities impersonating ERCOT during this winter storm. ERCOT does not send text messages to share information on grid conditions. ERCOT communicates grid condition information through our official communication channels, including our website (ercot.com), Texas Advisory and Notification System (TXANS), Emergency Alerts, social media channels, and the ERCOT mobile app.
