AMARILLO, Texas (May 20, 2026) — Xcel Energy crews have restored power to all customers affected by the Stinky Fire northwest of Amarillo who can receive electric service. All neighborhoods impacted by the fire have electric service again, although some customers might have damage that requires work by an electrician before the power can be turned back on.

Customers who are still experiencing outages should check for damage to their mast or customer meter pole, which is the electric service connection to their home or business. If the mast or customer meter pole is damaged and needs to be replaced, an Electrical Inspection Certificate (EIC) is required before service can be restored. View requirements and obtain an EIC here.

See the Outage Checklist for more information.

For safety, Xcel Energy asks everyone to stay away from any downed or sagging power lines. Always assume an electric line, even one on the ground, is energized and dangerous. Never touch or move a downed power line. Instead, leave the area and report it immediately by calling 1-800-895-1999.

Xcel Energy recognizes the impact outages have on customers and is grateful for their patience and support for our crews as they worked to restore power. The company also thanks local first responders and firefighters, as well as our emergency management partners for their continued commitment to keeping our community safe.
