SAFETY TIP: Power strips are not designed to handle every appliance in your home. Plugging in too many devices or using them with appliances and electronics that draw more power than they’re rated for, can cause power strips to overheat and spark a fire. Never connect a power strip to an extension cord or another surge protector. Use them only as directed by the manufacturer to reduce the risk of fire and protect your home.

EPE’s Lily Bustamante Honored as Rising Star

We proudly celebrate Lily Bustamante, Director of Transmission and Substation Engineering, who has been named a 2025 Rising Star by the Women’s Energy Summit. This honor highlights her technical expertise, leadership and dedication to advancing innovation in the energy sector.

Her recognition reflects not only her passion for engineering but also her commitment to the community we serve.

Credits Rolling Out for Texas Customers

Texas El Paso Electric customers will see credits on their bills over the next three months. The average residential customer will receive about $9.61 in September and October, and about $5.42 in November. These savings will appear on the fuel charge line item of customer bills.

The fuel factor is used to recover the cost of fuel needed to generate electricity, and EPE does not earn a profit on these costs. Refund amounts may vary by service rate, and while Texas adjustments occur periodically, New Mexico fuel factors are adjusted monthly.
