Electrical permit and utility interconnection check for battery storage
Houston's code enforcement permit-requirements page says work to install, alter, or replace regulated electrical systems must first obtain the required permit. For battery storage that is paired with or affects a distributed energy resource system, CenterPoint's solar interconnection page describes the utility application, interconnection agreement, Permission To Operate, and meter reprogramming process. Confirm both City electrical permitting and CenterPoint interconnection requirements before operation.
