KATY, TX (Covering Katy News) - CenterPoint Energy's planned power outage for July 7, 2023, was postponed for a second time on Friday.
Due to heavy rain impacting the area on Thursday, CenterPoint Energy said it could not conduct maintenance work on Friday.
According to spokesperson Alejandra Diaz, CenterPoint has postponed the planned outage until later this month.
"The 91 impacted customers will receive a new letter with the date and alternate date for when this work will be conducted," she said.
The outage was originally scheduled for Friday, June 30, but CenterPoint postponed the outage to July 7 because of severe heat.
CenterPoint says electricity could be off for up to seven hours to conduct repairs.
The company suggests people sign up for its free power alert service, which will send texts, emails, or phone calls whenever there's an outage in your area. It will also tell you when power will be restored following an outage.
