A Texas state Senate panel lambasted CenterPoint over its preparation for Hurricane Beryl .
The panel sought to pin the Houston outages on unique failures by CenterPoint , Texas ’s biggest utility.
Texas state officials and CenterPoint executives have identified numerous failings at the company before the storm.
PUC Chair Thomas Gleeson told senators his agency was investigating whether CenterPoint had spent “enough money on vegetation management” CenterPoint ’s spending of around $1 billion for 15 mobile generators, which proved too large to move through Houston .
“If I was an inspector general, I’d be looking at [ CenterPoint ] for fraud,” CEO of winning company had been convicted of violating federal environmental law.
Texas regulators are investigating CenterPoint 's failure to keep the lights on in a storm.
The PUC commissioner says it's incumbent on the state to look at how generators performed.
The generators point to a broader structural problem, expert Doug Lewin of Stoic Energy says.
The Texas Legislature approved $1.8 billion in the last session to build local microgrids.
