CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CNP), headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leading domestic energy delivery company. With a robust history spanning over 140 years, the company has established itself as a cornerstone in the energy sector, serving more than five million metered customers across Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. CenterPoint Energy specializes in electric transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution, and energy services operations.

One of the company's recent notable achievements includes a cost-saving initiative for its Indiana electric customers. In June 2023, CenterPoint Energy launched a securitization pilot program, which gained approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). This initiative aims to remove the remaining value of the A.B. Brown coal plant assets from customer rates, resulting in a total estimated savings of $53 million. The program benefits all Indiana electric customer classes, with residential customers expected to see a nearly $5 bill credit per month.
As part of its long-term electric generation transition plan, CenterPoint Energy will retire the A.B. Brown coal units 1 and 2 in October 2023. The company plans to reinvest the proceeds from the securitization bonds into renewable energy resources, including wind- and solar-powered generation, supported by natural gas generation to ensure reliability. This transition aligns with CenterPoint Energy's commitment to delivering clean and reliable energy while prioritizing customer savings.
