CenterPoint

CenterPoint is the Houston-area delivery utility

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC is the electric delivery utility for Houston and many surrounding communities. It maintains the local delivery system, including poles, wires, meters, outage response, streetlights, and regulated delivery charges.

CenterPoint delivers electricity but does not sell the retail electricity plan. Customers in competitive areas choose a retail electricity provider, while CenterPoint continues to operate the physical delivery network for the service address.
