Outage-ready Corpus Christi
When the grid goes down, an eligible home doesn’t have to sit in the dark.
Hurricanes, tropical storms, coastal wind, summer heat, and rare freezes like February 2021 are part of living on the Coastal Bend. A qualifying Energywell home battery is designed to switch your home to backup power automatically if the grid goes out — so lights, refrigeration, and other connected loads can keep running while the battery has charge. Battery availability varies by area; the official enrollment page shows whether it is offered for your address.
Switching your retail electricity provider does not change who maintains the poles and wires. Your local transmission and distribution utility — not your retail electric provider — maintains the poles and wires and handles outages. For a power outage, use the outage instructions on your electric bill or your utility’s website — not a retail provider sales line.
