Description	CenterPoint Energy is experiencing accelerated load growth in its Houston Electric business, with a firmly committed load forecast increased to 12.2 gigawatts of new industrial load. The company has secured ERCOT approval for 3.2 gigawatts and plans to submit the remaining 9 gigawatts for approval. They anticipate energizing approximately 8 gigawatts of this load by 2029. The growth supports customer affordability and requires further expansion of the transmission system, including near-term transmission additions before 765 kV projects commence in 2031-2032.
