Will CenterPoint Energy provide assistance to low-income consumers?
Yes. In order for low-income consumers to be able to take advantage of some of the benefits of smart meters, CenterPoint Energy has committed to spend $7.5 million. As part of this commitment, the company intends to provide low-income consumers, either directly or through a voucher program, an in-home device that will give these consumers the ability to directly monitor their electrical usage.
