	CPS Energy, Transwestern Team Up For Great Demand Response Savings Cutting back on energy use during hot summer months might seem like a lot to ask for a commercial real estate company that manages about 4 million square feet of property throughout the city. However, Transwestern San Antonio saved 265 kilowatts in 2009 through CPS Energy’s Demand Response program by applying simple energy conservation measures on days when the city’s energy use was at its highest.
	Why Does Conservation Matter? Conserving water and electricity is vital to Greater San Antonio’s future. Residents and businesses depend on SAWS and CPS Energy to be good stewards of these important resources that are essential to life. So, how are we doing? And what conservation efforts are in place that the community can participate in?
	Keep "IFOs" Away from Dangerous Close Encounters Decades of pop culture and sci-fi movies will tell you that UFOs pose a threat to mankind. However, flying saucers aren't the reason thousands of people are left powerless each year. Instead, it's the more familiar Identified Flying Objects (IFOs) – balloons and kites – that cause electric outages when entangled in power lines. Last year, CPS Energy reported that IFOs caused more than 100 electric outages that left about 18,000 customers without power.
	Manufacturer Sharpens Competitive Edge with CPS Energy Rebate Over the last 18 years, Supa Doors Inc. has delivered thousands of custom doors to customers all over the world.

That's why it made good business sense for Supa Doors to take advantage of CPS Energy's High-Efficiency Lighting Equipment rebate.
