Biggest Texas power outages since 2014

Statewide outage events recorded by DOE's EAGLE-I system since late 2014, with likely causes from NOAA storm reports

The largest power outage in Texas since 2014 (Feb 11–20, 2021) left as many as 4,257,873 customers (31.06% of the state) without power at once, driven by Winter Storm Uri. The next largest (Jul 8–17, 2024) peaked at 2,762,057 customers (Hurricane Beryl).

By EAGLE-I's count, Texas customers averaged about 9 hr 28 min without power per year from 2018 to 2025. The worst year was 2024, at 25 hr 30 min per customer.

Outages peak in February (26% of outage time). Outage time in Texas has risen recently: about 10 hr 32 min per customer per year in 2022–2025, versus 8 hr 24 min in 2018–2021.
