AUSTIN (Nexstar) — CenterPoint Energy CEO Jason P. Wells testified before the Texas House Committee on State Affairs Wednesday morning regarding the power outages the company has largely taken the blame for following Hurricane Beryl.
The energy company that serves most of the Houston area has faced scrutiny about its preparedness for Hurricane Beryl, which left over 2.7 million people without power. More than a week after the storm landed, around half a million Texans were still without electricity.
