CenterPoint Energy appreciates your patience and support as we continue to restore power to affected customers across the Greater Houston area following Hurricane Beryl on July 8, 2024. If you are seeking assistance with food loss, property damage or other damages associated with the storm, we recommend contacting your insurance carrier to file a claim. Should you need a letter for your insurance company about the duration of the outage, please submit the request using our Online Claims Form. If you still would like to submit a damage claim to CenterPoint Energy, please note that under CenterPoint Energy’s Tariff, we are unable to reimburse customers for food and other losses associated with power outages.
Additionally, in a storm response situation, CenterPoint Energy may need to conduct emergency tree trimming to gain access to our equipment impacted by fallen/broken trees and vegetation. The storm debris will be left onsite for removal by the property owner.
If you believe CenterPoint Energy may have some responsibility for causing a loss you have experienced, or if you would like to report damage to CenterPoint Energy facilities, please read the following information before submitting a claim:
In our business, and as stated in CenterPoint Energy’s tariffs, while we work diligently to maintain safe and reliable service, we cannot and do not guarantee an uninterruptable supply of electric or gas service. CenterPoint Energy’s tariffs list the utility’s responsibilities, as well as consumer responsibilities, and exclude claims for certain types of damages. For example, under CenterPoint Energy’s electric tariff, we are unable to reimburse customers for food or other losses resulting from power outages. In addition, CenterPoint Energy’s tariffs may also limit liability in the following circumstances:
Please see the applicable tariff for your region. The tariff has the force and effect of Law and will govern CenterPoint Energy’s response to your claim, where applicable:
Disclaimer: This site contains copies of CenterPoint Energy's tariffs. The official tariffs are on file with the appropriate governing agency for each state. Although every effort has been made to ensure that the tariffs on this site are accurate and are updated on a timely basis, CenterPoint Energy does not warrant that they are identical in every respect to the official tariff on file with the appropriate governing agency for each state and expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for any differences.
You have the option to refer your claim to your insurance company. The insurer may be able to reimburse you for your losses without an investigation and will, in some cases, pay replacement value for damaged items. CenterPoint Energy does not pay Replacement Cash Value (RCV). Your insurer may choose to follow up with CenterPoint Energy if the insurer believes that CenterPoint Energy caused or contributed to the damages that led to a loss.
You will be contacted by the claim’s specialist via email, USPS Standard Mail or telephone. Please be sure to check your spam folder for any missing emails.
If your claim is denied, we will explain the reason for the denial. If the denial is based on the Tariff, which has the force and effect of law, a copy will be provided to you. You also have the right, at any time in the claims process, to file a court action, including a small claims action, according to the laws of your state.
