Centerpoint Energy has made significant strides in enhancing the reliability of its operations in the Houston area. The company's efforts resulted in a 45% decrease in customer outage minutes through June 30, 2025, compared to the same timeframe in 2024. This improvement translates to over 20 million fewer outage minutes per month and a 41% decrease relative to the five-year average.

The Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative (GHRI) has been pivotal in these advancements. Key infrastructure improvements under the GHRI include the installation of over 32,000 storm-resilient poles, vegetation management along more than 7,000 miles of power lines, the addition of 5,150 self-healing automation devices, and the undergrounding of 400 miles of power lines. Thanks to these efforts, vegetation-related outages have reduced by 33%.

CenterPoint's ongoing commitment to bolstering its system's resilience is part of a broader $3.2 billion Systemwide Resiliency Plan. The initiative aims to cut outage minutes by nearly 1 billion by 2029, aligning with the company's long-term strategy to build one of the most resilient coastal grids in the country. As extreme weather events increase, CenterPoint Energy's proactive approach positions it advantageously among utilities in hurricane-prone regions, potentially reducing future capital expenditures and improving operational efficiencies.
