Houstonians can now track electronic infrastructure improvements via CenterPoint’s new Community Progress Tracker, part of the company’s ongoing Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative.

The tracker allows users to search by zip code and see completed work in real time, as well as updates on upcoming projects that highlight infrastructure improvements and efforts to strengthen the power grid in the face of extreme weather. Users can view icons on a map that track automation and intelligence projects, storm-resilient pole and equipment installations, undergrounding work and tree trimmings.

CenterPoint had installed 10,000 storm-resilient poles, cleared 1,600 miles of higher-risk vegetation, completed 99 miles of power line undergrounding and hardened 220 miles of power lines by the end of Q1 2026, according to the company.

For the rest of 2026, CenterPoint aims to install 35,000 stronger, storm-resilient poles, clear high-risk vegetation from 8,000 miles of power lines and harden 500 transmission structures against storms.
