CenterPoint said the strategy aims to keep distribution infrastructure charges stable as new data centers or other large loads fund more connection-related costs.
The company will apply 2025 Senate Bill 6 requirements to new large-load projects, aligning with Gov. Greg Abbott’s push for clearer standards.
CenterPoint also signed the national Ratepayer Protection Pledge to prioritize affordability while connecting large-load customers.
