Despite the utility company claiming seasonal increases are normal, many customers report bills unlike anything they've seen before, prompting a wave of outrage and a planned protest.
A group called "Direct Action Against CenterPoint Energy" organized a protest in front of the CenterPoint building in Downtown Evansville. Protestors voiced their concerns about bills hundreds of dollars higher than usual, with some reaching over $1,000.
CenterPoint Energy officials addressed the concerns, stating, "We know that people are concerned about their bills. It will change by customer in terms of what the impact may be based on their individual consumption," said Mike Roeder, Senior Vice President of External Affairs. He added, "We want to continue working with customers by providing them payment options, providing them energy-efficiency options and trying to be as transparent as possible about the investments that we are making for reliability today and into the future."
