Following the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, CenterPoint Energy, Houston's main utility company, has assured residents that the majority of outages should be resolved within the next two days. However, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has expressed dissatisfaction with CenterPoint's response and threatened consequences even after power is restored.
The Texas Public Utility Commission has initiated an investigation into CenterPoint's storm preparation and handling of the outages, as demanded by Governor Abbott. The utility has been given until the end of July to submit plans for safeguarding the power supply and enhancing infrastructure resilience in anticipation of the ongoing hurricane season.
