CenterPoint Responds as Houston Faces Power Outages from Windy Cold Front
A powerful cold front swept through Houston, leaving tens of thousands without power as CenterPoint Energy crews worked to restore electricity amid gusty winds and plunging temperatures. A cold front swept through Southeast Texas on December 29, 2025, causing nearly 35,000 homes and businesses to lose power due to strong winds. CenterPoint Energy, the utility provider powering much of Houston, reported outages, most concentrated in Central and North Houston. The National Weather Service predicted continued brisk winds throughout the day, with only a modest warm-up expected by midweek. The outage map was updated in real time to monitor restoration progress. The disruption was more than an inconvenience for Houston residents, with temperatures dropping from the holiday weekend into the low 50s and expected to drop further to 39°F overnight. The incident highlighted the vulnerability of Houston’s aging infrastructure and community resilience, and highlighted the need for greater preparedness in a region where extreme weather conditions occur.
