Probably a better thread, but this has been where Centerpoint has been discussed most:

HOUSTON – Major U.S. energy provider CenterPoint Energy is under scrutiny following allegations of overcharging customers by $100 million annually. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) has approved an audit to examine the company’s spending of taxpayer dollars.

The PUC voted Thursday to find a third party to audit CenterPoint. Not only has the energy company been accused of overcharging, they’ve been criticized by customers and the state’s Lt. Governor Dan Patrick for spending $800M to lease 20 massive mobile generators. Fifteen of them have never been used because they’re not all that mobile -- they take days to move.

PUC Chairman Thomas Gleeson emphasized the audit will assess CenterPoint’s emergency operations and generator allocation. The audit report is expected by April.

Bombogenesis sounds like a faux-Jamaican British pop reggae outfit from the late 80s that you’re embarrassed to say you listened to but lowkey had some real bangers. 

I was gonna say it sounds like it would be a song by Tricky, but we're on the same page.
