CenterPoint Energy has restored electricity to nearly 1.8 million customers. The company has now restored 80% of customers impacted by Hurricane Beryl and is on track to restore power to approximately 85% by the end of this weekend.
CenterPoint has now provided estimated restoration dates to substantially all customers who are without power. As work progresses, the company may be able to restore power sooner than expected. To date, CenterPoint has largely restored customers by the estimated dates provided to them in the restoration tracker, and in many cases, earlier than expected.
“We are grateful to our crews for their tremendous efforts to remove downed trees and repair damaged infrastructure, which has resulted in getting the lights back on for 80% of our impacted customers and at a pace faster than we previously expected," said Lynnae Wilson, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. “We know there is more work to be done and are laser-focused on restoring our remaining impacted customers as safely and quickly as possible." ?
Supporting Our Communities
To support our local communities during this challenging time, the CenterPoint Foundation is making contributions to the Salvation Army, Houston Food Bank, American Red Cross of Coastal Bend, American Red Cross of Coastal Plains, 4B Disaster Response in Galveston, and Brazoria counties, Combined Arms and Catholic Charities. CenterPoint has also continued to work hand-in-hand with community partners to position mobile generation at cooling centers, hospitals, senior living facilities, medicine storage facilities and water treatment plants.
CenterPoint's electric customers are encouraged to enroll in Power Alert Service® to receive outage details and community-specific restoration updates as they become available.
