CenterPoint VP says company wouldn't have done anything differently in Beryl response

CenterPoint has faced intense scrutiny over its preparation and response to Beryl.

00:45: Wait just a minute, did he just admit that money wasn't a problem and they just chose to not request enough help for some other reason? Yes, yes he did. I'm fairly certain a certain power company serving Houston is going to be advertising for a new VP soon...

[SmashTX]

Wouldn’t have done anything differently?…there’s the justification to fire him. Just take accountability and apologize.

[florptytoo]

Then Houston needs a different company. 🤷‍♀️

“So are we looking at next week with people without power?”

“Uh, we not ready to announce that yet.”

WOW..That alone is all you need to know.

Dude couldn’t even keep a straight face.

[bmxtrashtalk]

I bet his house and family members were the first on the list to get power

[r.hughes]

TURN THE FUKING POWER ON WE STILL DONT HAVE AC ITS 114 degrees WTF IS THIS !!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

The question is, why a category 1, half day hurricane would cause 2 million lose power? Does that mean we will repeat this or worse when more hurricane coming?

[higgs]

Wouldn't it be better if they did what was necessary to prevent the power from going out in the first place?

This is some good ole boy stuff here. You can tell this guy has no concern for the customers that are suffering and he looks particularly bothered to even be there answering a few questions. Un fkn real. They’d be better off declining to comment. This really tells a lot about the people running things around here.

[martindavis]

This just in... Center Point energy announces huge rate hike is on the way.

[texmerc]

"We're not ready to announce that just yet" .... right....

[syRus]

How can they say they've restored a million people of their map data isn't correct?

[diezeloutfitters]

If thats the case, then why are crews speaking out online about Centerpoint not wanting to pay, so thats why they are still sitting and not working?

[htownforever]

I don’t know if he or someone else gave the ok NOT request additional help to get the power on faster, I just want to know why? Why didn’t they think this was urgent enough to ask for additional worker to speed up the power restoration process? Like take the politics out of it and get it done.

[immortal_jairo]

Remember how they turned off the power in middle of the blizzard 🥶

[SuperMaosy]

yeah... you restore my power yesterday to only loose my power again today... what a bunch BS

[deeplife]

Arrogant he has shown is unimaginable. He knows that he will not be held accountable

[razer]

The fact is most people (and businesses) can't function without the infrastructure we have grown accustomed to. If you're gonna get us dependent on something you better believe when it's gone there's gonna be a problem

[Adefender]

Sooo, how come after Ike I had power after 8hrs., after this cat 1 I still don’t have power? And to top that half of my small neighborhood, 125 homes, only less than half have power. He is a liar. They staged @ Rhodes & the new stadium, from Alabama. Guess what they get here and spend the day going through safety training, that was Tuesday 7-09-24. I am only a mile from the stadium. Still can’t get power though.

So this guy didn't answer any questions except that don't expect us to do the bare minimum for everyone just some ....some of the time.
