CenterPoint Finishes Major Grid Upgrades Early, Ahead of Hurricane Season

CenterPoint Energy completed all key grid resiliency improvements of GHRI Phase Two early, announcing this on May 22, 2025, in Houston.
The initiative launched last summer after Hurricane Beryl to enhance infrastructure resilience ahead of the June 1 deadline and 2025 hurricane season.
Over the last 10 months, CenterPoint installed more than 26,000 storm-resilient poles, undergrounded 400 miles of lines, added over 5,000 automated devices, cleared 6,000 miles of vegetation, and installed 100 weather stations.
These efforts are projected to cut customer outage durations by over 125 million minutes each year, with Jason Wells describing this progress as an additional move toward creating the nation’s most resilient coastal power grid.
CenterPoint will announce the updated GHRI approach for the remainder of 2025 in early June, emphasizing continued efforts to improve reliability throughout the year.
