In the wake of the catastrophic aftermath left by Hurricane Beryl, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has voiced a stern call for the CEO of CenterPoint Energy, Jason Wells, to step down from his role. In a recent public hearing and workshop conducted by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) in Houston, Patrick expressed his concerns regarding the power utility’s preparedness and subsequent handling of the natural disaster’s fallout, as per a report by the Houston Chronicle. Echoing the frustrated sentiments of Houstonians, Patrick highlighted that the response was not reflective of the CenterPoint he knew in the past.
