CPS Energy: No Rate Hikes! No Disconnections! (May 2021 Action)

Date: 2021-06-07

On May 24, a group of community members gathered at the new multi million-dollar headquarters of City-owned CPS Energy to oppose a return to policies and practices that each year cut off tens of thousands of San Antonio residents from electric and gas service due to an inability to pay. Disconnections reached nearly 100,000 prior to a freeze on the policy a year ago inspired by the COVID-19 crisis. The group also objected—in large banner format, dropped from the utility's skywalk—to rate hikes until our rate structure itself is fair.
