Why does CenterPoint Energy offer incentives for energy-efficiency?
CenterPoint Energy is an electric transmission and distribution utility (TDU) regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and mandated by the PUCT to offset its demand growth by a certain percentage each year through energy efficiency programs. Therefore, CenterPoint Energy pays incentives or rebates to program participants for the installation high efficiency equipment that produces measurable and verifiable demand savings.
