Over 250,000 homes and businesses in the central and southern U.S. were without power on Monday, January 6, after a winter storm brought snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. CenterPoint Energy Indiana reported the highest number of affected customers, with 61,417 clients without power.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) also announced a weather watch from January 6-10, citing anticipated cold weather across its region, which is expected to increase electrical demand. However, grid operations are forecast to remain normal during the ERCOT weather watch.
CenterPoint Energy crews are working to restore service, but the widespread nature of the outages indicates a significant operational challenge. The company is focused on addressing the damage caused by the winter storm and restoring power safely and efficiently.
