CenterPoint Energy Foundation has launched a new Community Generator Donation Program in the Greater Houston Region, donating 21 backup generators and providing support across 12 counties to enhance community resilience. The initiative, funded by a $5 million grant, aims to ensure critical facilities have power during emergencies, with each county expected to receive at least one generator or support.

Working closely with local Offices of Emergency Management and community leaders, CenterPoint Energy is identifying suitable locations for the generators to maximize local benefits. The program, part of the Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative, is set to enhance community preparedness and provide essential services during major weather events, with all generators scheduled to be operational by June 1, 2025, ahead of the hurricane season.
