PSO to use controlled outages until repairs are made | News | swoknews.com

Service may not be fully restored until 11 p.m. today for residents in east, downtown and south central Lawton who were affected by a Public Service Company of Oklahoma power outage.

A fire at a substation in southeast Lawton led to a massive outage that directly affected more than 23,000 Lawton-area customers. But steps to remedy the situation brought affected customers to more than 26,000 in Lawton by mid-afternoon, as controlled outages for west Lawton neighborhoods were used to help control instability in the power system, said Wayne Greene, region communications manager for PSO.
