In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has demanded that CenterPoint Energy improve its hurricane preparedness and response efforts. Abbott criticized CenterPoint for prioritizing profits over customer needs, resulting in delayed power restoration for approximately 220,000 customers a week after the storm. He has given the company until July 31 to present a detailed plan addressing these issues and warned of an executive order if they fail to comply. The Texas Public Utility Commission will investigate CenterPoint's actions during the hurricane, focusing on their preparedness, resource deployment, and communication with customers. CenterPoint has acknowledged the criticism and committed to working with state and local authorities to enhance their infrastructure and response protocols.
