Ahead of the winter storm that barreled towards South Texas, CenterPoint said they are prepared for what the winter storm will bring, including having thousands of staff on standby.

Storm Enzo is expected to dump 2-5 inches of snow to the Houston area. The major utility provider is confident it won't be a repeat of Hurricane Beryl.

CenterPoint Energy activated its Emergency Operations Center this afternoon in advance of Winter Storm Enzo's arrival to be prepared to manage its response and restoration efforts. The company is coordinating with state and local emergency partners as it prepares to respond to the potential winter impacts on the Greater Houston area.

Crews across the country join CenterPoint to take on the winter storm. Here’s how they’re ensuring power and safety for Houston residents.

The company is expecting 1,200 additional mutual aid workers to arrive Monday, doubling its response workforce.

As weather models and forecasts for next week begin to converge, confidence is increasing in the potential for significant wintry precipitation and accumulation impacting the Greater Houston area starting Monday evening and continuing into next week.
