That is why they delayed fixing the issue. It took them many days to start the work. So, they can charge us by the hour. What a bunch of scammers.
CenterPoint makes more money on recovery than they do on prevention or preparation. This monopoly needs to be broken up. CenterPoint is not afraid of the Public Utility Commission or Greg Abbott. Maybe because everybody's in bed together and this play fighting between CP, PUC and Abbott is just a show.
they restored over 1 million people in less than 48hrs…. how is that delaying
Footnote: Centerpoint CEO'S were present and in full knowledge of what was transpiring in Texas while on an Aslan tour with Governor Greg Abbott. Do not be fooled,these fools are acting like fools...with your money.
Why doesn’t that surprise me. Bring back regulated utilities.
100% Texas residents got TRICKED in 1999 now higher bills are the TREAT
Then we would be charged even more. I don’t think you understand we lose no matter what
@@SolomonMagnus819 If I'm losing, I want to see them losing as well. Stick em in prison for breaking regulations.
they used to be regulated, then they got de-regulated by the government… sooooo
@@SolomonMagnus819 you are absolutely right. But it seems that with more choices, the more chances you're to be neglected. I let my emotions get the best of me. Thanks for commenting.
Cut the CEO and CFOs pay!
I had my own generator that kept me in power. WHY THE HELL would I pay extra for their failings?
That should be against the law! Our bills are high enough already! 🤬
They are already trying to charge people for the whole month when the power was out for weeks in some cases. End the Centerpoint monopoly and bring back regulated utilities, this has gotten out of control.
Follow the money!
Scamming at its best
They need to be done there should be no negotiations or excuses..this should be the last straw! Texas needs to go with another company or figure something else out. We cant depend on Centerpoint its simple.
Hell no! They should be setting aside some of the monies they collect from us for an emergency fund. But since they’re a for profit business their shareholders will not stand for that cause then that money will not flow into their pockets.
I get charged $200 for electric and $200 for water per month. It is just me in the home. Then I get a notification in attorney comprehensive language that they want to raise my rates before any hurricane occurred. Where is my money going lol. And what justification do they have to raise the rates. Sadly I don’t think the scammers are isolated just in Houston.
You need to check for leaks and broken valves. Your water bill shouldn’t be as high as your electric
@@rollin60z thank you sounds like a good idea too. But I also know the activation fee for water is $80 per month. Just to have it activated no water use. So the $100 water use sounds accurate plus activation fee another $80. It’s the cost for the services that makes it really expensive. I have never seen prices so high before.
The CEO and executives should give up their bonuses and shares to pay for this mess
I’m calling bullshit on this no way center pointless gotta go!
I already figured they were going to do this!, Had that "Hurricane Cost Recovery" on my Electric Bill for at least 2 years after Hurricane Ike!😡
CenterPoint makes more money on recovery than they do on prevention.
So they eliminated vegetation removal for how many years and saved how much money? And how much in bonuses have been paid out? I’d say you can eat it!
When Harvey hit, and my business was closed for a week, I didn’t raise my prices? It wasn’t my customers fault? We did just the opposite; we did a lot of work restoring damaged leather goods at reduced prices, and depending on the customers circumstances, sometimes we just comped the work.
I’m not comparing my tiny business to gigantic centerpoint from a financial perspective. What I’m saying is that regardless of size, a business can do the right thing.
Greed.
Centerpoint killed my husband and refused to pay for it they are so corrupt
@@Hughmungus2269 nailed it
Imagine the cost everytime you need to replace solar and wind turbines😂😂😂😂 your money is buying big houses and fancy cars. No more power for the people, power for profit
What about food we last what about the days we last of work if the do this I will be very upset
They don't care if we eat so long as the people at the top of Centerpoint are well fed and can buy expensive suits and toupees
They better sell them 800 million dollars worth of generators they not using. They charge us a flat ass storm charge now. It's like $15/month. They should be forced to set aside a contingency fund for emergencies.
I have an idea, how bout the ceo gives up the bonuses he and other executives receive. I’m sure they can recoup much more and faster.
I would say this would only be acceptable if they provided a yearly update on progress, and there should be expectations they have to meet with respect to fortification of utility poles and other safety and preparedness measures. If they don’t meet those goals for the year? They do not get reimbursed for that year.
i just got an $80 delivery charge for one month! This is a joke. Electricity should not be for profit. The lazy TX government needs to step in.
15 years that’s so ridiculous. Shame on Center Point
If they have to pay from operating expenses it will hurt bonuses…cant have that
Investors holding day of weather even should foot the bill. Board and CSuite should be on the hook for event -14 days. Investors are the biggest leech on our economy..
No.
Lakewood Church needs me! That's why there has been a storm. 🇮🇱🇺🇲
As they should
bs how so
That’s how real life works . The governments printing press is not real life . Sorry to break it to you princess elitist
The Government is THE printing press. Its called inflation, it's impacting us everyday.
All my food melted! We lost millions in food as well! Centerpointless
There are no elitists in these comments, only elitists supporters. Huge difference.
@@p2a0p2e0r1 you are correct . Poorly worded on my part
@@georgelopez-zt4qz the infrastructure is a problem with some of the bs green energy policies. We have neglected our infrastructure for way too long . They need to be proactive, instead of reactive . I’m sure the bs politics is the reason.
Houston Electric has separate financial statements. It made $187M this quarter. Why are you listing the income of the whole company across multiple states when that same document has the Houston Electric totals only a few pages down?
