Off-Peak: Winter Storms and What's in Store for 2024?

Happy New Year from BKVE!

As we step into 2024, we’re thrilled to celebrate BKVE’s first birthday! It’s been a fantastic year of growth, innovation, and community engagement. Thank you for being a part of our journey. For those of you that have selected us in Lubbock, your electricity will switch over in March and we’re excited to have you join us.

Recap: Texas’ First Winter Storm of 2024

The past few weeks brought Texas its first major storm, challenging our resilience and preparedness. Our community demonstrated remarkable strength and unity during these testing times. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to the recovery efforts.

Lubbock and West Texas: Faced strong winds and blowing dust with wind exceeding 60mph.
Houston Area: Encountered a significant ice event, cold air led to below-average temperatures that affected millions, and ice accumulation on roadways and powerlines caused hazardous conditions and power outages.
Dallas-Fort Worth: Experienced freezing rain and icy conditions on roads, bridges, and overpasses. The storm lasted several days with extended warnings.

Looking ahead, we anticipate a dynamic remainder of the winter season in Texas. While it is challenging to predict precise weather patterns, we’re committed to keeping you informed and prepared. Stay tuned for regular updates on weather forecasts and energy-saving tips.
