About CenterPoint Energy Power Outages
CenterPoint Energy's electric delivery company serves the greater Houston area. Like Oncor, CenterPoint is often the wires company while a retail electric provider sells the kWh. Hurricanes, derechos, and street flooding are the restoration problems Houston remembers. A Dallas ice storm is Oncor territory, not CenterPoint.
Users do not pick CenterPoint. We total power reports from states where CenterPoint Energy appears. That statewide Texas total includes other utilities. We are not CenterPoint Energy.
How to Report a CenterPoint Energy Outage
Open CenterPoint's Outage Tracker on cellular data or the CenterPoint app and search the address. Report online or by phone using the number on the delivery bill. After a hurricane, ETRs move as damage assessment finishes. This page does not fly helicopters or set poles.
Why CenterPoint Energy Power Goes Out
In Greater Houston and CenterPoint's Texas electric delivery territory, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical CenterPoint Energy patterns:
Named storms flood substations and snap poles across Harris County and surrounding counties.
A fast wind event can drop trees on laterals from Katy to the Bayou City in a few hours.
Bayou overflow soaks underground equipment; crews may wait on water to recede before restoring a loop.
The company that sends the energy supply bill is not always the one that owns the pole. CenterPoint restores delivery.
Before You Call CenterPoint Energy
- Open CenterPoint Outage Tracker or the CenterPoint app.
- Search the service address, not only 'Houston'.
- See whether neighbors on the same block are dark.
- Report through CenterPoint, not only the retail electric provider.
- Avoid flooded pad-mounted transformers and downed lines; call 911.
