Centerpoint energy needs to continue working until power is restored throughout the city of Houston. If they need additional outside electrical workers they can be brought in to help with repairs.
They are getting workers from other cities like LA, lack of real leadership and negotiations over pay. A lot of these trucks are sitting for hours waiting on working orders.
Every new (and overpriced) home in the hurricane prone Texas Gulf Coastal Region should come with a Generac, or some other brand, electricity generator.
They were working on my lines in my neighborhood till evening time. Around 7pm then they stopped amd left. Guess they'll start work again tomorrow. However, Centerpoint said they will be working around the clock.
Local here. They own the poles. Houston use to divide the power poles for each region of the city with different companies. Center Point operates nearly all of Houston now and chooses to not hire enough employees or have stations in each region of the city which results in poor management and week long waits. They also refuse to let their linemen work through the night or pay them overtime. It’s all about their bottom dollar even if that means people die.
Linemen are people too. High voltage is incredibly dangerous & it’s also not a job people rush to signup for. Finding quality people with the TikTok generation is harder than it’s ever been.
@@Micloren Then it’s time for them to sell portions of their business or do better at creating incentives and apprenticeships for people. Companies need to offer alternatives or help people through college considering the high cost of attending a technical school. Offer to pay a large sum of training if they work for your company for a certain number of years and if they break the contract then they have to pay back the college incentive. Sounds like creativity is lacking on the board. They could use fresh ideas.

As a Native Houstonian. I’m ashamed of my city! Houston has the largest medical center in the world. The alleged “energy capital of the world”. But there’s always power outages & overfilled hospitals.
This is complete insanity!!! It is so hard to breathe!!!! This is just craziness, why are these crews not working 24 hours a day!!!! Whoever is in charge of this operation needs to be charged!!!
This confirms what I have been afraid of: the way modern homes are built makes the southern areas of the US a dangerous place to live in during extreme temperatures, at least without some kind of personal generator. Anytime conditions are bad enough that the modern infrastructure powering everything breaks down (cold or hot) it's a problem. Perhaps older built structures from before electricity was a thing still could be okay for habitation without AC but at this point evacuating wouldn't have been about surviving the storm (since a Cat 1 isn't that scary overall) just surviving the after.
A big problem is the way homes and apartments are insulated. They trap heat inside during the day. So even though the outdoors cools off (some) at night, the heat is trapped in the home all night so it remains significantly hotter indoors than out. Opening windows and doors doesn't help much because they aren't designed for ventilation.
In other words, capitalism causes US to abandon beneficial architectural options in favor of cheaper housing and poor insulation techniques. Everything looks the same, although the climate ranges drastically in the entire country. The US is in dire straits, incompetency is rampant and the whole country has been sold to foreign investors. Did I mention your utilities are owned by foreign investors?
Where's Governor Abbott? Oh wait. He's on vacation. Nevermind. Leave him alone. Blame the Democrats. Vote Trump. He's going to fix everything and he will send that Hurricane back to where it came from.
It is so hot & humid. So many street lights out. It is 87F in my apartment. I was getting dizzy and I am a very healthy person. I feel so anxious for the elderly and small children.
Believing that a for profit company cares about people is delusional. These companies care about profit, how much money they can make when times are good and how much money they can keep when times get tough. Texas's power is a free for all of opertunistic capitalism, sold to their citizens by politicians who get contributions (bribes) from these companies. It's not about people, it's about money. Power will come back on when it is economically advantageous for the company.... I live in Louisiana, I have seen it first hand, welcome to the club.....
Umm… there’s plenty of private businesses that care about customers & people. Furthermore, your logic inverted presumes the government cares more… which is total nonsense. The reason why you have a single entity running the greater Houston power distribution system is because of bureaucracy limiting competition. That’s been the case for most utility services for decades. Comcast is utter trash too… but they have zero competition because government has created unbelievable barriers to entry that no startup can compete with.
But Centrepoint has a 23.4% Operating margin and a 3.17% average dividend yeild, It is working as intended. If people don't like it they should of voted better.
The fact that people are saying that we’re complaining about not having electricity. It’s not the electricity as in light we care about! It’s having air conditioning for our pets who will die if they live in this Houston heat!
If no AC and no generator. For next thime get a portable battery solar generator, a small an energy efficient DC car fridge freezer, a fan and a bunch of large empty soda bottles. Put water in all the bottles and freeze them. When frozen put one bottle in front of a fan at a time. Should last about 2 hrs each. The solar generator will be enough to power the DC fridge and fan for a while. Not as cold as real AC but really helps.
After Texas Deep Freeze and now this, I wouldn't rely on the govt for any disaster. Texans, make sure you are prepared for the next disaster. Plan for the worst and hope for the best
Save money to buy a generator, my wife was smart to get one last year. Bought it during Amazon Prime deal days at 50% off. I suggest everyone get one because it will happen every year.
Hate to break your liberal heart but Texas is one of the strongest & well run states in the union. People & business are relocating (voting with their feet) here by the millions.
Yea I live in texas and it sucks, I am thankful to have power, but man Htown get it together, 4th largest city but people are suffering, cant sleep at night it so hot
What about the people that live in apartments?! Hurricanes don’t happen every year in Houston and when they do we don’t go four days without power. You’re only saying this because you’re in your home with cool air conditioning!
That's all BS. Houston is a puppet blue city. ALL the surrounding burbs are red. That's where all the power lies. Remember Houston is the home of just about every oil company.
I grew up in Houston (out in the sticks actually, but same area), and we would be without power for days sometimes after a summer storm. Convenient? No. But did we live and have some unique and fun times with candles and being creative about things? Yes. Quit being wimps, people. Good grief. If you have a serious health condition, then that's not what what I'm referring to, and those people need to be helped. But if you're healthy, go help one of your neighbors who is in that bad health situation and quit complaining. Now the (alleged) corruption issues with the power delivery company? That's another issue. That might be legit.
