NOTICE TYPE: CNP-M-A070923-18 – Update
SHORT DESCRIPTION: National Weather Service Heat Advisory – CenterPoint Energy Suspension of Disconnect for Non-Pay Orders
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Retail Electric Providers
LONG DESCRIPTION: The National Weather Service has issued an additional heat advisory for the CenterPoint Energy Service Territory, which requires the extension of the Extreme Weather Moratorium
on Disconnects that began on Sunday, July 9, 2023. This additional Heat Advisory will be in effect until 10:00 PM CDT Friday, July 21, 2023.
The National Weather Service Heat Advisory underlying this DNP moratorium covers Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Matagorda Montgomery, Waller, and Wharton
Counties. As noted in Sec. 7.6.5.4 of the ERCOT Retail Market Guide,
it is CNP’s practice to suspend DNPs across our entire territory when the National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory for a county within our territory.
In accordance with PUC rules, DNP orders will not be executed during the DNP Moratorium for customers in the below counties. CenterPoint Energy will resume working DNP orders in these counties on
the date specified in the table below unless the extreme weather event is extended.
Red = New counties added
