Houston-based CenterPoint Energy Inc.’s natural gas and electric utility is “on track to meet our current capital investment plan for the year, having invested over $2 billion in the first six months of 2022,” said CEO Dave Lesar. 

During the second quarter conference call, the CEO said CenterPoint has increased its $19.3 billion, five-year capital investment plan twice since last September. 

“Our 10-year plan is still currently expected to be $40 billion-plus in investments to support the safety, resiliency and growth across our system to benefit our customers,” he told investors. In the first six months, CenterPoint invested more than $2 billion, “which is nearly 50% of our 2022 investment plans.”
