What they're saying:
"CenterPoint Energy has not made a request for conservation to the City of Galveston nor any of our customers in CenterPoint Energy’s Greater Houston area electric footprint. The system is operating as designed. We did experience a brief outage on the west end of Galveston this morning. It was quickly addressed, and as of approximately 9:30 a.m. customers had been restored," wrote CenterPoint Energy in a statement. "We’ll continue to communicate with elected officials and local key stakeholders and keep them informed of CenterPoint’s timely response to Winter Storm Enzo and potential impacts to our infrastructure as the weather continues to travel through the area this afternoon and into this evening."

Amid the potential for outages, the city of Galveston opened a warming and charging center.

The city says it will monitor the usage at the warming center to make a determination about continuing operations later in the day.
