From CenterPoint Energy, Inc.'s Q2 FY26 earnings-call transcript · updated 29 May 2026.

Revenue & Sales Performance

Moderate growth

Houston Electric's peak demand forecast accelerated by 2 years with a 50% increase expected, driven by 12.2 GW of firmly committed load by 2029 (up from 7.5 GW).
Approximately 8 GW of this load, mainly from data centers and advanced manufacturing, is expected to be energized by 2029, creating substantial growth in electricity volumes.
The region's economic expansion, including life sciences, energy exports, and manufacturing, supports sustained volume growth.
Indiana’s large load customer opportunity could provide incremental load enabling $250 million in savings over 15 years, indicating meaningful future demand growth.
Transmission and capital investments are planned to support this growth, with $6.8 billion targeted for 2026 and over $65 billion through 2035.
