HOUSTON (KIAH) – As of 9:30 pm Sunday, CenterPoint Energy has restored approximately 115,000 additional customers as restoration efforts continue after Thursday’s severe weather event. CenterPoint said its restoration progress was affected by extensive damage and difficult repairs, they are on track to be substantially complete with restoration by Wednesday evening.
- Company restorations total 700,000 customers, or approximately 75% of those impacted by last week’s severe weather event
- Significant progress made toward goal of being substantially complete by Wednesday evening
- Targeting Monday evening for approximately 85% of customer outages resulting from storm to be restored
“We appreciate the continued patience of our customers who lost electricity, especially given the higher temperatures and humidity across our area,” said Lynnae Wilson, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. “We know it has been a difficult 72 hours for them and we will continue to work around-the-clock to restore their service.”
As of 4:30 am Monday, 226,959 were still without power. In all, the company anticipates clearing thousands of trees by the end of the restoration event.
CenterPoint reminds customers that severe weather may have caused damage to customer-owned equipment. It is critical that 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, customers will need to contact a qualified electrician to make repairs before the company can restore service to them.
