Trade Ally/Dealer ID number

CenterPoint Energy assigns a six-digit trade ally/dealer ID that is used to tabulate your incentives. This number is also used to expedite rebate processing. In order to assign your company an ID number, CenterPoint Energy requires a current W-9 to be on file. We also update W-9 files every two years in compliance with tax laws. When necessary, please complete the requested forms so you do not miss any of your incentives.

Electronic payments

CenterPoint Energy requests banking information for all new companies and W-9 updates. This allows for electronic payment to your account. You do however have the choice to receive​ a check by mail by noting this in the required paperwork.
