This program is available to non-residential customers within the CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric service territory. Participants must abide by the following program rules:
- Shed a minimum of 100 kW when called after a 30-min notification, during program events (i.e., two test events and up to four unscheduled events triggered by ERCOT level 2 events or CNP system emergencies)
- Availability period for curtailments is limited to June 1 through September 30, 1-7 p.m. on weekdays, excluding federal holidays
- Participants are required to be capable of curtailing at least 100 kW
- Equipped with an Interval Data Recorder or Smart Meter
- Requires one-year commitment
- There are no penalties for opting out early
Terms and conditions apply.
Customer commitment
Participating customers agree to a one-year commitment, but there are no penalties if customers opt out of the program at an earlier time. By their participation, the commercial/institutional customer commits to 2 scheduled curtailments of 1 to 3 hours duration during each year of participation, plus a maximum of 4 unscheduled curtailments of up to four hours each during each year of participation.
