CenterPoint Energy, Inc. is a publicly traded utility holding company primarily engaged in the delivery of electric and natural gas services across multiple states in the United States. The company operates two main business segments: Electric and Natural Gas. Its Electric segment provides electric transmission and distribution services to customers, owns and operates nearly 1,300 megawatts of electric generation capacity in Indiana, and manages electric infrastructure including wires and poles serving more than 2.9 million metered customers primarily in the greater Houston area of Texas and southwestern Indiana. The Natural Gas segment engages in intrastate natural gas sales, transportation, and distribution for residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, and Texas. Additionally, it offers home appliance maintenance and repair services and home repair protection plans in select states. CenterPoint Energy also sells and delivers natural gas to approximately 7 million homes and businesses primarily in Indiana, Minnesota (including Minneapolis), Ohio, and Texas (including the greater Houston area) while operating an extensive natural gas pipeline network. Recent major company developments include senior leadership changes effective January 1, 2025, featuring appointments such as Richard C. Leger as Senior Vice President of the multi-state Gas business and Bertha Villatoro as Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. CEO Jason Wells was appointed Chair of the Board in 2025, aligning leadership to execute a new 10-year, $65 billion capital investment plan. CenterPoint Energy also announced strategic initiatives focusing on modernizing natural gas infrastructure, including a commitment to eliminate cast-iron pipe in all territories and investing in grid resiliency, notably after severe weather events impacting Houston in 2024. The company launched its first Sustainable Financing Framework in early 2023 to fund sustainability-driven projects. Founded in 1866 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, CenterPoint Energy is the only investor-owned electric and gas utility based in Texas. It serves approximately 7 million metered customers across Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, and Texas, and owns assets valued at approximately $44 billion.
