—Reliant provides free, cool retreats from the heat in Houston, Dallas and Corpus Christi—
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Residents in cities across Texas will have access to community spaces to
stay safe and escape high temperatures this summer while conserving
energy at home with the opening of 16 Reliant Beat the Heat centers.
Today, Reliant was joined by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner to
officially launch its Beat the Heat program with the City of Houston for
the 14th straight year. Similar events are slated with the City of
Dallas and City of Corpus Christi next week.
“The summer months can be a challenging time for Texans to keep their
electricity bills in check,” said Elizabeth Killinger, president of
Reliant. “Electricity demand is expected to be at an all-time high this
summer and Beat the Heat centers provide seniors and low-income
customers with a cool, comfortable place where they can conserve energy
in the hottest months of the year. Reliant is proud to be a continued
part of this important program that serves the needs of our most
vulnerable citizens.”
16 Safe Spaces to Beat the Heat
The Reliant Beat the Heat Centers are available to the entire community
and feature air-conditioned spaces, water, and entertainment. The
centers provide a safe place for residents to stay comfortable and
minimize home electricity use throughout the summer.
There are 11 Beat the Heat locations positioned throughout Houston,
three in Corpus Christi and two in Dallas. For more details on
locations, hours of operation, addresses and contact information, visit
the Beat
the Heat Center website. The centers will be open through September.
Community Assistance by Reliant Energy
Since 2005, Reliant and its customers contributed more than $11 million
through its CARE (Community Assistance by Reliant Energy) program for
Texans who need help with summer electricity costs. Reliant assists
seniors and low-income residential customers with paying their Reliant
electricity bills through the CARE program and contributions to social
services agencies. For anyone who needs help this summer or wants
