Step aside, Whataburger. CenterPoint releases power outage map of its own.
How many customers has CenterPoint restored power to by Tuesday evening?
By Tuesday evening, CenterPoint Energy has restored power to 850,000 customers affected by Hurricane Beryl. The company expects to restore power to 1 million customers by the end of Wednesday.
What does CenterPoint Energy's new map show?
CenterPoint Energy's new interactive map provides insight into Hurricane Beryl's impact on Houston. It breaks service areas into three categories: areas with power, areas assigned to be repaired, and areas still being assessed by the company. The map also shows the number of customers who lost power in each zip code. However, it does not indicate when residents should expect their power to be restored.
Why was the original Outage Tracker map removed?
The original Outage Tracker map was removed due to technical issues that occurred during the May 16 derecho event. The map was overloaded with visitors, causing it to experience technical difficulties and provide incorrect information about power restoration.
