Supporting Economic Prosperity for YOU

and Greater Houston

CenterPoint Energy has always been a force for Houston’s growth — and after Hurricane Harvey, we further strengthened our resolve to helping our city’s economic development thrive, rain or shine. Our commitment to Houston starts with consistently setting up our commercial and industrial customers for success. We lead executive roundtables to collaborate on tailored energy solutions and host seminars on power reliability, energy efficiency, distributed technologies and natural gas transportation services. CenterPoint Energy personnel also help boost Houston’s economy by providing hands-on support to help grow jobs through more than 50 leadership roles across dozens of economic development organizations. All together, these efforts are expected to yield more than 3,000 direct new jobs and $1.8 billion in total economic impact.
