CenterPoint Energy encourages customers to plan ahead as hurricane season begins
2024-06-07T05:00:00Z

​​Houston June 7, 2024 – As the Houston area and surrounding communities enter the 2024 hurricane season, CenterPoint Energy is reminding all customers – especially those who depend on electricity for life-sustaining equipment – to have an emergency plan in place in the event of severe weather. With the May 16 derecho bringing an early start to the severe weather season, safety and storm preparedness remain top-of-mind for the company's workforce. ​

“Last month's sudden, destructive storms and the trail of significant damages left in their wake reinforced the importance of always being prepared," said Lynnae Wilson, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. “2024 is expected to be a very active hurricane season, and history has shown time and again that the path and intensity of these storms can be highly unpredictable."

The 2024 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predictions forecast a range of 17 to 25 named storms. According to NOAA, 8 to 13 of the predicted named storms are forecasted to become hurricanes with winds 74 mph or higher, including four to seven major hurricanes with winds 111 mph or higher.

Customers should develop an emergency plan and assemble a hurricane preparedness kit that includes essential items such as non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, any necessary medications, a battery-powered radio and a portable charger for mobile devices. The company also encourages customers to enroll in CenterPoint's Power Alert Service® to receive outage details, estimated restoration time and community-wide restoration updates.

“CenterPoint wants to assure our customers that we are prepared for the 2024 hurricane season," Wilson said. “We understand and take seriously the fact that severe weather will cause outages that impact our customers' lives. That is why we will be ready to deploy the resources necessary to restore service as safely and quickly as possible."

If electricity is a necessity, customers or their caregivers should make other arrangements for on-site back-up capabilities or alternatives in the event of an outage. CenterPoint encourages customers who depend on electricity for life-sustaining equipment to ask their doctor to submit an application for critical care customer status to the utility for their area.

According to the guidance below from the National Hurricane Center and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, customers should be prepared to be without electric service according to the following guidelines:

HURRICANE CATEGORYWIND
SPEED
TYPE OF DAMAGE
AND ESTIMATED OUTAGE*
CATEGORY 1Winds
 74 – 95 mph
Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.
CATEGORY 2Winds
 96 – 110 mph
Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.
CATEGORY 3Winds
 111 – 129 mph
Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
CATEGORY 4Winds
 130 – 156 mph
Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months.
CATEGORY 5Winds

In the event of a severe weather event, remember:

  • Sign up for CenterPoint Energy's Power Alert Service® at CenterPointEnergy.com/PowerAlertService.
  • Stay informed of weather conditions and warnings or advisories issued by local authorities by paying close attention to announcements from local news outlets for important information regarding ongoing conditions and recovery efforts.
  • If you experience an electric outage, do not open freezers and refrigerators any more than necessary, as opening these appliances will allow food to thaw more quickly.
    • Only use a portable generator in a well-ventilated area and never run it inside or in a garage to avoid carbon monoxide fumes, which can be deadly.
    • Never connect a portable electric generator directly to your building's electrical system during a power outage; electricity could backfeed into the power lines and potentially endanger utility workers.
    • Do not turn off your natural gas at the meter; your natural gas meter should be left on to maintain proper pressure in the natural gas piping within the house and to prevent water from entering the lines should flooding occur.
    • If you wish to discontinue natural gas service, the natural gas can be turned off at each appliance. Later, to restore natural gas service to an appliance, you may follow the written instructions located on the appliance for re-lighting. If you are unable to locate the instructions or don't feel comfortable re-lighting, call a qualified plumber/technician.
    • Have your weatherhead, which connects the overhead power line to your home or business, checked for damage. Any weatherhead problems will need to be repaired by a licensed electrician prior to service being restored.

During post-storm recovery and restoration efforts, remember:

  • Stay away from low-hanging, downed power lines or lines that could be submerged in standing water. Treat all downed power lines as if they are energized. Report any low-hanging or downed power lines to CenterPoint Energy by calling 713-207-2222.
  • Water poses a potential electric safety threat because it's a good conductor – always be careful not to touch water, or anything in contact with it, near a downed power line.
  • Any amount of water, including a puddle, can become energized. If you see a downed power line near water, retreat to a safe distance, then call CenterPoint Energy immediately at 713-207-2222 to report it.
  • Flood waters can be hazardous. Always use extreme care when stepping into flooded areas. Submerged outlets or electrical cords can energize water, even from a distance.
  • If your home was flooded, call a licensed plumber or a natural gas appliance technician to inspect your appliances prior to requesting a service reconnection.
  • Boats or other vehicles being used in high water can expose you to danger from power lines at their normal height. Be aware and stay away.
  • If water has risen above the electrical outlets, contact a licensed electrician before turning on the main circuit breaker.
  • If you smell natural gas — which has a distinctive, strong odor, often compared to rotten eggs or sulfur — leave the area immediately on foot, and tell others to leave, too. Do not turn the lights on or off, smoke, strike a match, use a phone or operate anything that might cause a spark, including a flashlight or a generator. Once safely away from the area, call 911 and CenterPoint Energy, and we will send a trained service technician immediately.
  • While conducting clean-up, call 811 to locate utility lines prior to digging on your property.
  • Be cautious around work crews and give them plenty of room to safely assess damage and make repairs.

In celebration of National Lineworker Appreciation Day, CenterPoint Energy honors frontline workers who work through the hottest days and coldest nights to serve customers and communities

HOUSTON July 10, 2025 — Every year, the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and utilities across the country join together to observe National Lineworker Appreciation Day on July 10. This annual observance honors the life and work of Henry Miller, the first IBEW president, and our nation's frontline electric workers. These dedicated workers serve their communities year-round during the hottest summers and coldest winters by helping deliver safe and reliable electric service to customers every day. These same lineworkers answer the call for mutual assistance from neighboring utilities in other states by responding to hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, winter storms and other extreme weather events, and natural disasters.

“We celebrate this day annually to recognize our highly skilled and highly trained workforce. Whether installing new storm resilient poles, repairing lines impacted by cars or accidents or restoring electric service following an extreme weather event, lineworkers serve as the first responders of our industry," said Darin Carroll, Senior Vice President, Electric Business. “I want to thank our CenterPoint line men and women for the commitment and sacrifices made by both them and their families every day. A lineworker's job is not an easy one, but on both blue-sky days and after major weather events, our team shows up, works hard, and delivers this critical service to our customers."

CenterPoint's Houston electric lineworkers serve more than 2.8 million metered customers across 12 counties in southeast Texas, maintaining approximately 4,000 circuit miles of transmission lines and approximately 56,000 miles of distribution lines. In addition to installing, maintaining and repairing electric infrastructure such as transmission towers, distribution poles, substations, transformers and wires, these lineworkers also educate the public on electric wire safety and adhere to rigorous safety standards to protect themselves and the communities CenterPoint serves.

They are also playing a critical role in helping the company work toward its goal of building and operating the most resilient coastal grid in the country. Since CenterPoint launched the Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative (GHRI) in August 2024, lineworkers and contractor partners have:

  • installed or replaced more than 26,000 stronger, more storm-resilient poles built to withstand extreme winds;
  • undergrounded more than 400 miles of power lines to improve overall resiliency;
  • installed more than 5,150 more automated reliability devices and intelligent grid switching devices to reduce the impact of outages and improve restoration times; and
  • installed 100 weather monitoring stations to improve situational awareness and storm preparation.

Supporting long-term resiliency and rising energy demand

As part of the company's commitment to harden and strengthen the grid in the Greater Houston area, CenterPoint is focused on helping build the next generation of electric workers to support continued resiliency work and help meet the rapidly growing energy. This next generation of line workers will also support the implementation of CenterPoint's 2026-2028 Systemwide Resiliency Plan, which is designed to strengthen the electric system against extreme weather of the future and reduce outages for customers by nearly 1 billion minutes into 2029.

CenterPoint Energy highlights new energy efficiency programs to help Indiana customers save energy and money this summer

Evansville, Ind. July 8, 2025 — As temperatures rise and long-range forecasts point to above-normal heat across southwestern Indiana, CenterPoint Energy is reminding customers of the tools, tips and programs available to help manage energy use and summer bills. New energy efficiency offerings now available include in-store discounts on energy-efficient products and no-cost home energy assessments with on-the-spot upgrades.

According to the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center, above-normal temperatures are expected across southwestern Indiana throughout the July–September period. With higher temperatures likely, customers may see increased energy use to keep their homes cool.

“At CenterPoint, we have several resources available to help customers save energy and manage their bills through the summer months and beyond. These new and existing offerings are designed to make saving energy easier, and the Customer Assistance Fund offers additional support for customers who may be facing financial challenges," said Tony Gardner, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer.

Expanded energy efficiency programs
CenterPoint offers a range of new and existing programs to help residential customers reduce energy use and lower their bills this summer:

New offerings

  • In-Store Discounts: Customers can receive instant rebates at checkout on eligible energy-efficient products at participating Lowe's, Home Depot and Habitat for Humanity ReStore locations in the Evansville area. No paperwork or application is required. Discounted items may include dehumidifiers, advanced power strips, air filters, ENERGY STAR® room A/Cs, pipe wrap and more.
  • Home Energy Assessment: Available to all households, this no-cost assessment includes on-the-spot upgrades such as weatherstripping, aerators, pipe insulation and a smart thermostat. Customers also receive a personalized home energy report with tailored recommendations.

Other programs

  • Energy Efficiency Store and Thermostat Promotion: Customers can shop CenterPoint's online Energy Efficiency Store to purchase discounted energy-saving products, delivered directly to your home. Through July 18, while supplies last, customers can also take advantage of a special promotion: save an additional $30 on the Google Nest Thermostat® or $40 on the Google Nest Learning Thermostat®.
  • Smart Cycle: Enrolled customers can receive bill credits during peak summer usage months by allowing CenterPoint to briefly adjust their smart thermostats by up to four degrees to help manage energy use. Before each event, homes are pre-cooled to maintain comfort and customers can override adjustments anytime. Customers can enroll online at CenterPointEnergy.com/SmartCycle.
  • Neighborhood Weatherization Program: Income-qualified customers can access no-cost home assessments and on-the-spot upgrades, similar to those offered through the Home Energy Assessment. Participants in this program may be eligible for additional improvements, such as insulation and furnace tune-ups, at no extra cost.

Summer bill payment assistance now available through the Customer Assistance Fund

The Customer Assistance Fund (CAF) provides direct bill support to eligible southwestern Indiana customers who may be facing financial challenges. Summer assistance is now available to support customers who use electricity to cool their homes.

Customers may apply once during the calendar year. Those customers who already received assistance in 2025 are ineligible until the new funding year begins in 2026 as funding is only allotted once per calendar year.

Administered in partnership with The Salvation Army Indiana Division, the CAF features an easy and accessible application process. More information is available at CenterPointEnergy.com/CAF

Additional tips, tools and resources for customers for energy and cost savings

Customers can do the following to stay comfortable while saving energy and money:

  • Turn up the thermostat when leaving home: Raise the temperature a few degrees when away from home for energy savings. With a smart or programmable thermostat, a cooling system can work around a customer's schedule.
  • Change or clean filters in HVAC systems: Air conditioning represents approximately 50 percent of a home's energy use when it's warm out. Regular maintenance can extend the life of a home's system, so change or clean filters to keep the system running efficiently.
  • Slay energy vampires: Energy drainers – also known as “energy vampires"– are electronic devices and appliances that suck up electricity by hovering in standby or ready mode without fully powering off. Save energy by turning off non-essential electric appliances, equipment and lights when not in use. 
  • Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air: Setting ceiling fans to rotate counterclockwise helps circulate cool air and keep rooms at a comfortable temperature.
  • Keep warm air out: Use weatherstripping or caulk areas in and around a home where cooled air may escape, such as around windows and doors or anywhere else warm air might enter.
  • Block the sun's rays: When temperatures increase outside, keep window coverings closed when the sun is shining brightest to maintain a more comfortable indoor temperature.
  • Upgrade appliances and equipment: When replacing appliances and equipment, choose models with increased energy efficiency ratings for long-term cost savings. Rebates may be available for qualifying appliances.​

CenterPoint Energy introduces a redesigned Indiana South electric bill

​EVANSVILLE, Ind. – June 24, 2025 – CenterPoint Energy today announced an updated format of its electric bill for Indiana South customers. The revised layout is designed to provide a clearer breakdown of monthly charges and support greater customer understanding of their energy use and how bills are calculated.

The bill revisions do not add any new charges. Instead, existing electric charges will now be grouped and labeled under four clearly organized groups – Customer Facilities Charge, Variable Base Charges, Fuel Charges and Adjustments – to help customers understand how each item contributes to their total bill.

“Improving how we communicate with customers is a responsibility we take seriously," said Mike Roeder, CenterPoint's Senior Vice President, External Affairs. “This update builds on regulatory direction and customer feedback, and it reflects the transparency we are committed to bringing to every aspect of the customer experience. We've listened to the feedback from our customers and hope to bring a better understanding of the various components of the CenterPoint bill."

This update builds on the framework outlined in the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission's final order in CenterPoint's most recent rate case, which directed the company to add broad categories to its bill presentation. CenterPoint expanded on that guidance by introducing the four itemized groups.

Recent customer experience improvements
The updated bill format is part of CenterPoint's broader effort to enhance how it communicates with and supports Indiana customers. In recent months, the company has also introduced new tools to improve the overall customer experience:

  • Outage Tracker: A mobile-friendly outage map that includes weather overlays, satellite views and a Spanish-language option. Visit CenterPointEnergy.com/OutageTracker to view current conditions and report outages.
  • Action Center: A centralized online resource with safety tips, restoration updates and community information to help customers stay informed during outages and service interruptions. Explore at CenterPointEnergy.com/ActionCenter.
