When will CenterPoint restore power in your neighborhood? Search by address on new map

Over a million households are still without power four days after Hurricane Beryl struck the greater Houston area Monday. 

The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory through 9 p.m. CT Friday. Temperatures will be in the lower and mid-90s, and heat indices will reach 106 degrees.

According to CenterPoint Energy's Outage Tracker, over 1.1 million customers are still in the dark. After Beryl passed on Monday, over 2.2 million customers, about 80% of CenterPoint's customers, were without power.

CenterPoint said in a post on X that they plan to restore power to 80% of customers by end of day Sunday. 

CenterPoint releases new power restoration map

The map doesn't show when power will come back, but it does show areas across Houston highlighted in four colors.

• Green means power is back, though isolated outages to individual homes could remain.
• Light green means power is back, but with potential nested outages.
• Blue means crews have been assigned to restore the power and work is being done.
• Orange means CenterPoint is still assessing damage.

What is a nested outage? 

If homes are in energized areas but still without power, they could be part of a nested outage. 

A nested outage occurs when there is damage to the electrical equipment that serves a specific home or group of homes, even though the power has been restored to the surrounding area. Nested outages can be caused by various factors, such as downed power lines, damaged transformers, or faulty underground wiring.
