Utility crews work to restore electricity in Houston in the wake of Hurricane Beryl, Thursday, July 11, 2024. AUSTIN – The head of the power line company CenterPoint Energy publicly apologized Thursday to power grid regulators for failures in responding to Houston-area outages caused by Hurricane Beryl.
The company and Wells have faced withering criticism in the weeks since Beryl. Gov.

CenterPoint’s outage tracker failed because it could not keep up with web traffic, said Tony Gardner, CenterPoint’s chief customer officer.
