KPRC 2 getting one step closer to answers from CenterPoint Energy's response to derecho, Beryl
SUMMARY: Nearly three months after Hurricane Barrel left over 2 million CenterPoint customers without power, regulators are seeking public feedback on the utility’s performance. It took CenterPoint over 10 days to restore electricity, raising safety concerns as heat-related deaths were reported. The Public Utility Commission (PUC) has received 15,000 complaints and will hold a meeting this Saturday for residents to voice their opinions. CenterPoint is also requesting to withdraw from a rate review amidst claims of overcharging customers by over $100 million annually. CenterPoint’s CEO will participate in an exclusive interview today to address these issues and future plans.
The Texas PUC will be hearing directly from Houston residents on how CenterPoint Energy handled restoring power to millions of customers during the derecho and Hurricane Beryl.
