The discount for West Texas Sour crude widened after Western Refining Inc. said its El Paso refinery in Texas was affected by a power failure earlier today.

“We lost power from El Paso Electric early this morning,” Gary Hanson, a spokesman for Western, said in an e-mail. “Power has been restored and we are in the process of restarting our units.”
