CenterPoint Energy has donated a backup generator to the Deputy Darren Almendarez Community Center in East Aldine as part of its initiative to provide 21 generators to critical facilities in the Houston area before the 2025 hurricane season. This program was launched following criticism of the company's response to Hurricane Beryl, and the donated generators will be permanently installed at various locations, funded by a $5 million grant from the CenterPoint Energy Foundation, rather than through customer electricity bills.
The generator at the East Aldine center, which cost $52,900, will enable the facility to serve as a cooling or warming center during outages, ensuring that local residents have a reliable place of safety during extreme weather. So far, six generators have been donated, with plans for more installations across the county. In addition to these efforts, CenterPoint is also working on strengthening its infrastructure in preparation for future storms and has filed regulatory proposals to improve its service and recover costs from previous outages.
