Flickering Lights During a Storm?

Here’s What You Need to Know

With the winter storm season upon us, you may experience flickering lights. While this can be unsettling, we want to assure you that this is a normal part of our operating system.

The blinking lights you’re seeing are simply the system adjusting to maintain stability and avoid larger outages. This means the system is doing its job to keep your power on!

Here are a few things you should keep in mind:

  • Flickering Lights: Normal during storms, as our system works to maintain service.
  • Complete Outage: If your power goes out completely, and stays out, that’s the time to give us a call. We’re here to help!
  • Stay Prepared: Always have a flashlight, batteries, food, water, medical supplies, and other essentials ready during the storm season.

Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Please call us if you experience a full outage, at toll-free (844) 395-2412. Stay safe and thank you for being a member of the Sangre de Cristo Electric Association (SDCEA).
