CenterPoint Energy

[citation needed] Overnight on Tuesday morning, CenterPoint Energy was able to restart the process of rolling the outages around, but had to stop at around 4 a.m. due to another ERCOT order because several third-party electric generators tripped offline.Later that evening, CenterPoint Energy stated online that it was given another ERCOT order to reduce electric load and warned customers to make preparations for additional outages.On Wednesday evening, CenterPoint Energy told its customers to conserve both power and natural gas starting at 6 p.m. CDT until midnight, as it was preparing to re-energize portions of the electric system.[16] On July 10, 2024, a graffiti mural with the name "CenterPointle$$" popped up on an I-10 West underpass near the highway and Studewood Street, indicating the city's response to the company's lack of preparations and failure to give reliable information to its customers after the storm.[18] On December 16, 2005, CenterPoint Energy Inc. said it would restate its finances for 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005 to correct accounting errors that overstated revenue and natural gas expenses.
