Municipal & Government facilities in the San Antonio Metro run a varies widely by facility type load of roughly 200,000-800,000 kWh/month on CPS Energy service. With no supplier to switch to, we work the schedule, the demand component and the bills themselves.
CPS Energy is owned by the City of San Antonio and is the largest municipal utility in the United States. Like Austin, San Antonio sits geographically inside ERCOT but outside its retail choice market, so there is no supplier bidding to be had. The savings here come from three places: making sure a demand-metered account is on the right schedule, cutting the billed demand peak that sets a large share of the bill, and recovering billing and metering errors — which on multi-meter campuses across Bexar County are more common than owners expect.
Municipal & Government is not the dominant sector in this territory, where military installations, healthcare systems, tourism and a growing manufacturing corridor carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a municipal & government load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A varies widely by facility type profile at 200,000-800,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and with supply fixed by CPS Energy, the work concentrates on the demand component, the rate schedule and recovering billing errors — which on a load this size is not a rounding error.
At 200,000-800,000 kWh/month, most municipal & government sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| Small General Service | accounts below the demand-metering threshold |
| Large General Service | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| Primary Service | facilities served at primary voltage |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
