Storm rolls in.

What stays on when the grid goes down
Every plan covers your critical loads. When CenterPoint loses power, these circuits switch to your battery.
Two plans. One 12¢ rate.
Both install outside your home with $0 upfront. Add solar to recharge the battery from your roof and extend backup through daylight hours.
