In plain English
CenterPoint is a pure regulated wires-and-mains utility: it owns the poles and wires that deliver electricity to the booming Houston metro and southern Indiana, and the gas mains that heat homes across Texas, Indiana, Minnesota and Ohio. After shedding its midstream pipelines and several gas franchises, it is now an almost pure delivery business riding one of the biggest load surges in the US — Houston data centres and reshored industry are set to push its peak power demand up ~50% by 2029.
