CenterPoint Outage Map Update: What You’re Not Seeing on Houston’s Power Tracker

Thousands across Houston are still in the dark as CenterPoint Energy crews work to restore power after recent severe storms. According to the latest CenterPoint outage tracker, over 21,000 customers were without electricity as of this afternoon, following a night of strong winds, lightning, and downed trees that caused widespread outages in the Greater Houston area While 94% of customers avoided interruptions, nearly 167,000 lost service at the storm’s peak, with restoration efforts now focused on the hardest-hit neighborhoods.

CenterPoint has launched a new outage tracker map, updating every five minutes by county, city, and zip code, and now includes estimated restoration times for each area This move comes after criticism of the company’s response to previous storms, with state officials demanding more transparency and faster updates for Houston residents.

To check your status, users can enter their address or zip code on the CenterPoint outage map, view real-time updates, and click on outage pins for details like estimated restoration and the number of customers affected Color-coded markers show the extent and status of outages—red or orange for active outages, blue for pending assessment, and green for repairs underway.

Restoration is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the day, but officials warn that some areas may experience delays due to extensive storm damage Customers are urged to stay clear of downed power lines and report outages directly through the CenterPoint tracker or by phone For ongoing updates, local news outlets like KHOU, ABC13, and KVUE continue to monitor the situation.
