CenterPoint Energy, Inc. completed the sale on October 1, 2026, of all issued and outstanding equity interests in Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, LLC to National Fuel Gas Company for $2.62 billion, subject to purchase-price adjustments. The seller was CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp., CenterPoint’s wholly owned indirect subsidiary. Consideration comprised $1.42 billion in cash paid at closing and a $1.20 billion promissory note.
The note bears 6.50% annual interest and matures September 30, 2027. Its covenants include a limit on the borrower’s consolidated indebtedness-to-consolidated-capitalization ratio of 0.65 to 1.0, or another ratio then in effect under its primary credit facility. The Ohio business included approximately 5,900 miles of gas transmission and distribution pipeline serving approximately 335,000 metered customers. All required federal and state approvals, including review by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, were received, and National Fuel immediately assumed responsibility for serving the customers. CenterPoint said transaction proceeds will help support funding of its $66.7 billion, 10-year capital plan.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CNP) reports a cybersecurity incident after learning in September 2026 of an online post by a third party claiming to possess a customer data set. The company activated its cybersecurity incident response protocols, engaged external cybersecurity experts, and implemented additional protections for its systems.
The company has determined that an unauthorized third party obtained personal information relating to a portion of its customers through an external-facing system, but electric and gas service delivery remains operational and undisrupted. CenterPoint currently does not believe it is reasonably likely there will be a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
CenterPoint is working to define the scope of affected customers and data, will notify customers and regulators as required, and has reported the matter to law enforcement. It has incurred and expects to continue to incur expenses related to the incident, and believes its customary cybersecurity insurance coverage will offset related costs.
CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CNP) and its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into four new five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facilities totaling $4.6 billion in aggregate commitments, replacing their prior facilities with no termination penalties.

Each facility permits two one-year maturity extensions and includes swingline and standby letter-of-credit subfacilities, with interest based on Term SOFR or an Alternate Base Rate plus ratings-based margins.
Covenants limit debt to capitalization to 67.5% for CenterPoint Energy and Houston Electric (with a temporary 70% allowance tied to qualifying natural-disaster securitization) and 65% for CERC and SIGECO. CenterPoint Energy expects to resize its commercial paper program to $2.2 billion, CERC to $1.1 billion, and to establish a new $1.0 billion program for Houston Electric, in each case subject to definitive documentation.
