CenterPoint Energy has restored power to 92% of impacted customers

​​Houston - July 15, 2024 - CenterPoint Energy has now restored power to 92% of impacted customers and remains on track to restore electricity to approximately 98% of impacted customers by the end of day on Wednesday, July 17. The company now expects to restore power to all customers who can receive power by Friday, July 19."We are grateful to our crews who have restored power to our customers at a stronger pace than we have been able to in any hurricane in our history, despite the difficult conditions," Lynnae Wilson, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. "We continue to work around-the-clock to get our remaining customers back online."In addition to damaging CenterPoint's electric infrastructure, Hurricane Beryl may have caused damage to customer-owned equipment. Specifically, customers should check their weatherhead, the point where power enters the home through an electric service drop, which is often a pipe located on the side of the residence or building. If the weatherhead is damaged, crews cannot safely restore service to the home until a licensed electrician has made the necessary repairs. Customers who are served by an underground service will not have a weatherhead, but there may still be damage to their equipment that could require servicing. Supporting Our CommunitiesCenterPoint has continued to support the communities it serves throughout this challenging time and beyond. Since Hurricane Beryl made landfall, the CenterPoint Energy Foundation has contributed nearly $1.7 million to disaster relief organizations, including: United Way Relief Fund, Salvation Army, Houston Food Bank, Red Cross Coastal Bend, Red Cross Coastal Plains, and many others. Through the contribution to Salvation Army, specifically, CenterPoint is enabling them to serve 83,000 meals to people in need. The company has also provided more than 90,000 bottles of water to cooling centers and other distribution centers throughout the greater Houston area and is continuing to deliver supplies to meet other immediate needs. CenterPoint has also continued to work hand-in-hand with community partners to position mobile generation at water treatment plants, medical facilities, water facilities, warming and cooling centers and senior living facilities throughout the Greater Houston area.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.
