Houston City Council denies CenterPoint Energy rate hike that would wipe out savings from rate settlement

The electricity rate increase would add about $2.22 to the average residential customer’s monthly bill, while the gas increase would come out to an additional $2.88. The rate increase would wipe out savings from a recent settlement between CenterPoint and Houston-area municipalities.
