CenterPoint Energy works to deliver safe and reliable electric service. No matter who owns the power plants, or the name on the bill, CenterPoint Energy delivers electricity across the poles and wires to over 2 million customers in a 5,000-square-mile area around Houston. We own and maintain electric wires and poles, read meters and restore power when it goes out.
