CenterPoint Energy Foundation has launched a new Community Generator Donation Program for the Greater Houston Region. The program, part of CenterPoint's Greater Houston Resiliency Initiative (GHRI), will donate 21 backup generators to key locations across 12 counties. Funded by a $5 million grant from the CenterPoint Energy Foundation, this initiative aims to support community resiliency during major weather events or emergencies.

Questo programma, parte dell'iniziativa di resilienza della Greater Houston (GHRI) di CenterPoint, donerà 21 generatori di backup a luoghi chiave in 12 contee.

CenterPoint Energy 재단이 휴스턴 대도시 지역을 위한 새로운 지역사회 발전기 기부 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 프로그램은 CenterPoint의 대휴스턴 회복력 이니셔티브(GHRI)의 일환으로, 12개 카운티의 주요 위치에 21개의 백업 발전기를 기부할 예정입니다. CenterPoint Energy 재단의 500만 달러 보조금으로 자금을 지원받아, 이 이니셔티브는 주요 기상 사건이나 응급 상황에서 지역사회 회복력을 지원하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.
회사는 지역 응급 관리 사무소 및 카운티/시 리더들과 협력하여 발전기의 최적 위치를 찾고 있습니다. 처음 두 개의 발전기는 갤베스톤 카운티에서 공개되었으며, 향후 몇 주 내에 더 많은 발표가 있을 예정입니다. 이 발전기는 대형 건물 전체에 전력을 공급할 수 있으며, 정전 시 필수 서비스의 허브 역할을 할 것입니다.
목표는 2025년 6월 1일까지 모든 발전기가 설치되고 운영되도록 하는 것이며, 허리케인 시즌 전에 완료하는 것입니다. 이 프로그램은 주주에 의해 자금이 지원되며 고객 요금에는 영향을 미치지 않습니다.
