CPS Energy will host a Small Business Opportunity Event as part of ongoing efforts to support the local business economy. The San Antonio City Council recently approved the new Sustainable Tomorrow Energy Plan (STEP), which paves the way for CPS Energy to weatherize up to 16,000 homes and 20,000 multifamily units. Over the next five years, nearly $82 million has been approved for weatherization. The first event was hosted in November 2022 at CPS Energy Headquarters, with upcoming events planned in the future.
CPS Energy seeks participation from local businesses working in the following industries:
- Home Repair
- Home Inspection
- Blower Door Testing
- Energy Auditing
- HVAC
- Insulation
- Electrical and Plumbing
- Dry Wall installation and more.
Attendees will learn about CPS Energy’s upcoming solicitation for weatherization services for single-family homes and the new multi-family weatherization initiative. Attendees will receive step-by-step support to register with CPS Energy to receive maximum bid opportunities.
In addition to weatherization enhancements, San Antonio City Council voted to continue the critical mission of helping customers reduce their energy use and bills while improving the environment through STEP’s energy efficiency and conservation programs. The approved plan for CPS Energy’s evolution of the award-winning STEP initiative received $350 million in funding over the next five years. The STEP program’s goals include 410 megawatts (MW) of energy demand reduction, 1% energy savings per year, and 1.85 million tons of avoided carbon.
STEP also funds CPS Energy’s solar rebate offerings, and the upcoming program will focus on low-to-moderate-income customers.
