With CPS Energy's efficiency and conservation program set to expire in July, trustees on Monday heard two options to extend it another five years.

CPS Energy interim President and CEO Rudy Garza listens during a board meeting Monday as trustees discuss the future of the city’s energy conservation efforts at the utility's headquarters.CPS Energy’s energy efficiency and conservation program is set to expire at the end of July, and while its cost has been a sticking point for some trustees, it appears likely some version of the program will continue.

The existing program, originally called the Save for Tomorrow Energy Program , aimed to reduce energy demand by incentivizing CPS Energy customers through rebates on energy-efficient appliances and home modifications. Some trustees, however, have complained about the program’s cost. Ed Kelley, who was replaced by Romero in February, hasTrustee John Steen raised cost concerns during Monday’s meeting, asking first if the program could be suspended, then whether the cost could be broken out so customers know how much they are paying per month for it.

The other option would save 410 megawatts, and cost about $350 million total, or about $3.51 on a customer’s average monthly bill, Luna said.
