CenterPoint Energy projects $5 billion Texas customer savings from large-load growth initiative
  • CenterPoint launched a “Customer Savings Initiative” projecting more than $5 billion in Texas electric customer savings over the next decade.
  • Savings tied to up to 14 gigawatts of ERCOT-eligible base-load or studied-load projects, shifting more fixed grid costs to new large-load customers.
  • Plan aligns with Gov. Greg Abbott’s push for clearer standards for data centers, citing compliance with 2025 Senate Bill 6 protections.
  • CenterPoint pointed to stable infrastructure charges from 2014-2025, rising just over 1% per year, positioning rates as the lowest among Texas investor-owned T&D utilities.
