CenterPoint Energy Chooses Climavision to Deliver Weather Intelligence, Boosting Grid Resilience to Extreme Weather

State-of-the-art forecast and detection tools strengthen utility’s commitment to mitigate weather impacts on millions of customers

LOUISVILLE, KY, UNITED STATES, June 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a bold move to fortify its operations against increasingly volatile and extreme weather, CenterPoint Energy (NYSE: CNP) has engaged weather technology pioneer Climavision to deploy its Horizon AI Forecasting Suite — a next-generation platform combining high-resolution forecasting and real-time storm detection — across Southeast Texas.

This strategic investment will help CenterPoint anticipate and respond to extreme weather events with greater speed and precision — one of many ways the company is improving its operational response and reliability for its 2.8 million electric customers across Greater Houston.

Through this engagement, CenterPoint will leverage Climavision’s proprietary weather radar network, including three strategically positioned X-band radars that close critical blind spots in the government’s NEXRAD radar coverage. In addition, CenterPoint will gain access to Climavision’s AI-enhanced high-resolution forecast models, which ingest CenterPoint’s ground-based proprietary real-time observational data to deliver unmatched forecast accuracy.

“Climavision is transforming how utilities operate in the face of weather volatility,” said Matt Lanza, CenterPoint’s Meteorologist. “Houston has been hit with everything from hurricanes to flash floods to winter storms in just the past few years. This investment in Climavision’s cutting-edge weather intelligence is a decisive leap forward in our ability to prepare for and respond to whatever nature throws at us.” Climavision’s solutions will enhance and integrate with CenterPoint’s existing weather technology, strengthening a layered, data-driven approach to weather monitoring and emergency response and enabling faster, more informed decision-making before, during, and after extreme weather events.

“We’re excited to work with CenterPoint to help advance their weather resilience strategy,” said Chris Goode, CEO of Climavision. “By integrating real-time, proprietary weather observations into high-resolution, AI-enhanced models, we’ll provide meaningful insights that support CenterPoint’s planning and response operations. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to innovation and delivering operationally relevant weather intelligence where it matters most.”
