More than 99% of CenterPoint Energy's Houston-area customers maintained power through the freeze, and ERCOT didn't order rolling outages.

CenterPoint Energy averted the worst impacts to its power lines and poles during Houston's historic winter storm.

A local energy expert, meanwhile, says other factors also contributed to relatively few power outages as snow blanketed the region on Tuesday and temperatures plunged into the teens early Wednesday morning.

The good thing is, CenterPoint is reporting thousands of customers' power restored in the last 24 hours compared to how many outages they've seen.

Ahead of the winter storm that barreled towards South Texas, CenterPoint said they are prepared for what the winter storm will bring, including having thousands of staff on standby.

Crews across the country join CenterPoint to take on the winter storm. Here’s how they’re ensuring power and safety for Houston residents.

We continue to track the weather and freezing temperatures. With a possible hard freeze tomorrow morning, CenterPoint spokesperson Michelle Hundley talks about CenterPoint's operations today.

According to a release sent out on Saturday, CenterPoint has around 1,200 mutual aid workers who will be in the area by Monday to support any efforts to bring the lights back on. Workers will be staged at three different spots and pre-positioned to move into affected areas.

Cars, trucks, vehicles, and power poles are not a good mix,” said Logan Anderson, spokesperson for CenterPoint Energy.

CenterPoint said a brief outage impacted about 3,000 customers on Galveston's West End, who eventually got their power restored.

With the winter storm affecting the Houston area, power is a concern that many residents have after the winter storm that affected the area in 2021.

Heads up to those of you in Galveston. CenterPoint Energy wants you to conserve electricity where possible. According to a post on the City of Galveston’s website, CenterPoint notified them that they’re having load capacity issues. Those issues are specifically impacting areas west of 61st Street.
