"Planned Power Outages in North Texas Towns Amidst Summer Heatwave"
Residents in the town of Argyle, Texas, will experience a planned power outage for up to five hours on what is expected to be the hottest day of the year, with temperatures reaching 110 degrees. The outage is necessary for Oncor to install upgraded transformer equipment, as the current transformer has reached its maximum capacity due to the area's rapid growth. The town officials have scheduled the outage for 11 p.m. to minimize disruption and take advantage of lower temperatures, but they have urged residents to be cautious and call 911 in case of heat-related emergencies.
