“In response to [rate] protests, Centerpoint launched a series of ‘affordability actions’ last month. The company cancelled $1 billion in renewable energy projects and would keep a coal-fired power plant open longer, in order to maintain rates near the rate of inflation for two years. This meant customers wouldn’t have to pay an extra $18 per month in the future, Centerpoint said.”
