Are We Going to Lose Power This Summer?
Description
It’s been a nearly year since a derecho and Hurricane Beryl left Houston in the dark, making many Houstonians lose trust in CenterPoint and the Texas grid. Host Raheel Ramzanali talks with energy expert Sam Luna with BKV Energy about what’s changed, why power bills are rising, and if Texas grid is ready for more wild weather this summer.
Stories we talked about on today’s show:
- Remember last May's derecho? CenterPoint will soon raise rates to recover those storm costs.
- Data centers are booming in Texas. What does that mean for the grid?
- Disaster Readiness and Resilience Clinic & Expo set for May 17: Largest preparedness event in Houston ahead of hurricane season
