City officials from the City of Coleman are releasing details related to the historic Texas winter storm that is believed to have claimed the lives of two Coleman citizens. The timeline of events was explained to the Coleman City Council during a special meeting Monday evening at Coleman City Hall. The following press release was provided by the City of Coleman explaining the events of last week. The City of Coleman operates the electrical utility, purchasing power from Constellation. AEP Texas serves as the wires service provider that provide transmission and distribution service to the AEP Substation located on the edge of Coleman’s city limits. During the winter storm, the City of Coleman was placed on a controlled black out by AEP for 46 hours. The City was never placed on rolling blackouts like other communities. The Coleman City Manager requested AEP at least place the city on a rolling blackout schedule so citizens could warm their homes periodically and was denied.
