Save Energy in Your Home with STEP

CPS Energy’s Sustainable for Tomorrow Energy Plan (STEP) is an aggressive energy conservation program. STEP provides financial incentives to residential and commercial customers to install energy saving practices and fixtures to reduce the customer’s use of electricity on a permanent basis. This program produces short term benefits such as:

  • Reducing overall system fuel costs and producing fuel savings for customers
  • Lowering customer’s energy use and their monthly bill

STEP also produces long term benefits for customers such as:

  • Delaying the need for additional generation capacity in the future and alleviating corresponding rate increases to support the cost of the new generation
  • Providing environmental benefits from reduced emissions
  • The reduction in electricity consumption would be accomplished by providing residential and commercial customers with financial incentives and assistance such as: replacement of current light bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs, and replacement of existing household appliances with energy efficient appliances.
