The San Antonio City Council on June 16 approved a CPS Energy five-year energy efficiency and conservation plan.
The approved plan for CPS Energy’s evolution of its Save for Tomorrow Energy Plan (STEP), will be funded as a $350 million initiative over the next five years. The average bill impact will continue to be $3.50 per month to an energy bill.
The program goals include 410 megawatts of demand reduction, 1% energy savings per year, 16,000 weatherized homes and 1.85 million tons of avoided carbon.
The plan includes:
Since June 2021, CPS Energy has held a dozen collaborative sessions to design a new program with feedback from the Board of Trustees, Rate Advisory Committee (RAC), Citizens Advisory Committee, the Municipal Utilities Commission, and public comment during the Board and RAC meetings.
The current STEP program expires on July 31, 2022. With this month’s approval, CPS Energy will work to finalize additional details, including public awareness and community outreach plans.
