What CenterPoint Energy (CNP) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
The utility plans to deploy $1.5 billion more in early projects and expects 14 gigawatts of new demand through 2030, officials said.
- On Tuesday, CenterPoint Energy Chair and Chief Executive Officer Jason Wells raised 2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $1.90–$1.92 and increased the 10-year capital investment plan by $4 billion to $70.7 billion through 2035.
- Greater Houston's accelerating growth drove the expansion, with 14 gigawatts of customer demand submitted for ERCOT's Batch Zero process. Management is pulling forward $1.5 billion in transmission projects to sustain the region's competitive advantage through 2030.
- Executives identified at least $10 billion in additional investment opportunities through 2035, driven by data center and industrial demand. CEO Wells noted, 'many of the large hyperscalers are long chips and short power,' emphasizing the attractiveness of Indiana's 700 megawatts of available capacity.
- To fund this expansion, CenterPoint increased its equity financing guide by $1.6 billion to $4.5 billion. The company initiated 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.07 to $2.09, representing approximately 9% growth from the updated 2026 base.
- Proceeds from the NorthStar Clean Energy divestiture, expected to exceed $500 million, will support regulated utility investments. The company positioned itself to deliver 7% to 9% annual earnings growth through 2030 amid accelerating customer demand.
