Amidst the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, Texas' attorney general has initiated an investigation into Houston's electric utility, CenterPoint Energy, over allegations of fraud and waste. The scrutiny comes in the wake of widespread power outages that left millions without electricity for days.
The investigation was prompted by concerns raised by state regulators, including Governor Greg Abbott, regarding the utility's storm preparations and response to Beryl, a Category 1 hurricane that caused power outages for nearly 3 million people in Houston.
