What Is Causing the Outage?
The cause of a particular Katy outage can vary. Equipment problems, planned maintenance, storms, vegetation, damaged electrical infrastructure, and other localized incidents can interrupt service. A specific cause should not be assumed until CenterPoint or local authorities confirm it.
Recent reporting has also documented recurring brief outages in parts of the Houston region, with CenterPoint explaining that some newer grid equipment can automatically isolate faults and restore service to much of the affected network.
When Will Power Be Restored?
Restoration times depend on the location and cause of an outage. CenterPoint's outage tracker provides estimated restoration times when that information is available. The utility advises customers to use the tracker for the most current information.
Customers can report an outage or downed power line to CenterPoint at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143.
Anyone who encounters a fallen power line should stay away and treat it as energized.
