Winter Storm Causes Power Outages for CenterPoint Energy Customers in Houston Area

CenterPoint Energy Inc. responded to severe winter weather over the weekend, which caused high winds, ice accumulation, and freezing temperatures in the Greater Houston area. Despite these conditions, less than 1% of the company’s 2.9 million customers experienced weather-related power outages, with approximately 2,000 customers still impacted as of 4 p.m. and less than 30,000 customers restored since Saturday morning. CenterPoint deployed its 2,800-person workforce to address outages and has released over 500 contract workers to assist restoration efforts in other hard-hit areas. The company continues to monitor its system and reminds the public to stay at least 35 feet away from downed power lines and to report them immediately.
