CPS Energy Board of Trustees Monthly Meeting

Riding with a hollowed-out crew, including the loss of senior attorneys, the chief operating officer, and a lame duck CEO, CPS’s Board of Trustees convenes to discuss plant weatherization efforts to avoid another freezing blackout this winter, forming a search committee to replace its CEO, and a developing rate-hike request to take to San Antonio City Council for approval. This month’s agenda and most materials to be presented (barring the CEO’s Report, which tends to come in the morning of the meeting) are available here.

Attend in person at the new 500 McCullough Headquarters (map and instructions below) or view online on their website. Public comment sign-up closes the Friday before each monthly meeting, which fall on the last Mondays of each month.

“Our customers have shared with us how we failed them; we are focused on providing real improvements to how we serve.”
