This Labor Day, we recognize the people behind everything we do - from electric and natural gas crews in the field to our teams working behind the scenes to deliver the energy that powers our lives. An enormous thank you to all our colleagues for your hard work and dedication to the customers and communities we're privileged to serve.

As part of our commitment to build and operate the most resilient coastal grid in the nation and to continue preparing for the 2026 hurricane season, CenterPoint Energy conducted a full‑scale Hurricane Preparedness Exercise today at our Emergency Operations Center. Thank you to the 400+ CenterPoint team members and partners who participated in today’s all‑day exercise, focused on emergency coordination, system restoration planning and customer communications. The exercise also included approximately 100 observers, including state and local officials, emergency managers, business leaders and community stakeholders. Their participation supports shared readiness, coordination and situational awareness, helping position CenterPoint and those involved to respond and serve our customers safely and efficiently when severe weather impacts our communities.

It’s Hurricane Preparedness Week, and preparation is something we work on year-round. From stronger poles and self-healing technology to vegetation management and weather monitoring tools, we’re continuing to strengthen the grid and prepare for whatever the season may bring.

Clearing the way for a stronger grid. As part of the Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative, we’ve trimmed more than 8,000 miles of high‑risk vegetation since 2024 to improve reliability and strengthen our coastal grid.
