Matt Lanza’s work with the Eyewall and Space City Weather will continue as he works at CenterPoint.

CenterPoint Energy spent $800 million leasing generators that were largely unused after Hurricane Beryl.

The survey results come after the Greater Houston region was hit with the back-to-back disasters of a surprise derecho in May and Hurricane Beryl in July.

CenterPoint Energy has completed all 42 of its initial post-Hurricane Beryl commitments to improve.

Even in a worst-case scenario, outages are not expected to span days as they did in February 2021, ERCOT said.

Cobos was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to oversee Texas utilities and ERCOT after the 2021 freeze.

Most solar panels are designed to withstand winds of up to 140 mph, the wind speed found in a Category 4 hurricane.

The average residential customer in Houston is expected to see a 12-cent increase on their monthly bill – much less than the $5 increase CenterPoint asked for.

Texas could lose out on the most jobs of any state if Project 2025’s energy and climate provisions were fully realized, according to an Energy Innovation study.

ERCOT has modeled a nearly 80% chance of morning-time outages this January if Texas were to experience weather conditions similar to the 2021 freeze.
