To enroll in CPS Energy online services, you must provide your CPS Energy account number, service address, and personal identification in the form of either a driver’s license number or Social Security Number. After CPS Energy receives your enrollment information, a temporary password will be e-mailed to you. The first time you log in to your online account, you will be asked to change this temporary password. You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your User ID and password and for the transactions accomplished through the use of your password. It is your responsibility to update your online account information immediately upon any changes to the information or change your password if you believe your user ID and/or password have been compromised.

When you sign up for CPS Energy online services, you will no longer receive a paper bill and informational inserts in the mail. Instead, you will receive an e-mail notification that your bill is ready for viewing and a link to your “Manage Your Account,” log-in site.  Informational inserts about other CPS Energy products and services may be provided by separate e-mail. If you would like to resume receiving a paper bill and informational inserts by mail, you may update your online account profile.
It is your responsibility to check for the delivery of your monthly bill by routinely logging on to your online account to check for your bill, notices and updates, and to keep your profile, e-mail and bank account information current.

Delinquent notices will be sent through regular postal mail only.

If you do not receive your e-mail notification, contact CPS Energy immediately at (210) 353-2222. Failure to receive e-mail notification will not delay the due date of your bill and you will still be responsible for timely payment of your bill.

You may cancel your online enrollment at any time by selecting the checkbox “Remove this Account” from My Online profile or by calling CPS Energy Customer Service at (210) 353-2222.  Cancellation of your online account enrollment will be processed immediately. Cancelling your online account will not cancel any pending payments that are “Scheduled” or “In Process.”  Pending payments will still be processed by the date requested.  If you want to cancel pending payments at the time you cancel your online account enrollment, you must first cancel the pending payment(s) and then cancel your online enrollment.  Payments that are in the “In Process,” status cannot be cancelled and will be processed by the date requested. 

You may use your online account to pay your CPS Energy utility bill using your personal or business checking or savings accounts. By paying your utility bill through your online account, you are authorizing CPS Energy to make a withdrawal from your bank account, in the dollar value entered by you in your payment instructions, through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network. If your financial institution does not honor a withdrawal for any reason, including insufficient funds, incorrect account number or using a closed account, CPS Energy may charge your utility account applicable return item fees and/or late payment fees in accordance with the CPS Energy Rules and Regulations.

In the event an incorrect amount of funds is debited from your bank account, due to the fault of CPS Energy, CPS Energy will be responsible for correcting and returning the improperly debited funds to your bank account, and, if applicable, for any incurred charges directly relating to improperly debited funds.

By using your online account, your payment will be posted to your CPS Energy utility account the day you specify it to be paid if that payment is made on or before 3 p.m., Central Standard Time (CST) on a CPS Energy business day. Payments may be scheduled up to 60 days in advance. You may have up to 5 scheduled payments pending at any one time.

If you have selected to store your bank information as part of your online account, only the last four digits on your Routing/Transit Number and Account Number will be displayed.

NOTE: It may take a few days for your bank account to reflect CPS Energy’s withdrawal of the payment amount.

You may cancel scheduled payments online up to 24 hours prior to the payment date. Once a payment is listed as “In Process,” it cannot be cancelled through your online account. Cancellation of your online enrollment will not cancel any scheduled payments.  Payments already scheduled will be processed and posted to your CPS Energy account(s) by the date requested. 

CPS Energy reserves the right to cancel any scheduled payments if the bank has returned your previous payments and your utility account is listed as “Cash only.”
