On Dec. 7, City Council approved CPS Energy’s request to increase its rates and expand its Affordability Discount Program. District 1 Councilmember Dr. Sukh Kaur released the following statement:
Downtown San Antonio will welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors to experience holiday lights, events and festivities over the coming weeks. Visitors are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and arrive early to downtown events to avoid expected disruptions related to traffic, construction projects and parking. The weekend of December 15-17 will be especially busy.
At today’s City Council meeting, District 10 Councilman Whyte moved to reduce the proposed CPS Energy rate increase by half, from 4.25 percent down to 2.125 percent. While the amendment did not pass, the Councilman stated he remains committed to finding ways to make energy consumption more affordable for CPS Energy’s rate payers.
