CenterPoint Energy plays two different roles in our Texas sampling. In Houston it's the transmission and distribution utility — every sampled address gets its power delivered over CenterPoint wires while residents pick their own retail plan — and it's also Houston's natural-gas utility at every sampled address. In San Antonio it appears in a supporting role, delivering gas at about one in five sampled addresses where CPS Energy doesn't. Outage restoration in its Houston territory is CenterPoint's job, whoever bills you.
