CenterPoint Energy

Listen to Shane Bradford, Vice President, Indiana Electric, give an update on our restoration efforts in southwestern Indiana.

With an expanded workforce made up CenterPoint Energy crews, contractors and mutual assistance partners totaling more than 500 workers, over 90% of our southwestern Indiana electric customers who were impacted by Wednesday's storms have been restored. Their work has included replacing approximately 100 wooden poles, reinstalling nearly 60,000 feet of overhead wire and replacing nearly 40 transformers. Rest assured, these crews are out in full force and focused on reaching the finish line this evening of restoring service for the vast majority of those customers still without power.
