We want to hear from you about Powering Our Community’s Future.  Learn more and take our survey at cpsenergy.com/pathforward.

Our core business initiative is to responsibly manage a diverse and dynamic power generation portfolio. Over the years, as new technologies have emerged, we have positioned ourself and our community to benefit from those new technologies while providing our customers with reliable, safe, secure and resilient services.

COMMITTED TO OUR GOALS. FLEXIBLE IN OUR METHODS.

As we build our path for the future, we understand that we need to stay flexible to continuously meet the needs of our community. 

Our goals include:

• Close two older coal plants (Deely) in 2018 - GOAL ACCOMPLISHED 
• Position to integrate new and emerging technologies like battery storage and electric vehicles
• Continue to expand our solar and wind resources
• Add more programs and services like energy efficiency and demand response

Years ago we started the process to reduce our coal and gas use and increase our renewables. By 2040, we are predicting even larger decreases in older technologies and exponentially larger increases in newer and cleaner technologies.

INCREASES IN RENEWABLES GENERATION AND DECREASES IN COAL AND GAS

Our generation mix has changed considerably since 2010. The positive trends will accelerate with our Flexible Path into 2040. 

• Renewables increased 69% from 2010 to 2018 and will increase an additional 127% under Flexible Path
• Gas increased 18% from 2010 to 2018 and will decrease 72% under Flexible Path
• Coal decreased 44% from 2010 to 2018 and will decrease another 61% under Flexible Path

FLEXIBLE & ADAPTABLE PATH TO A BRIGHTER, CLEANER FUTURE

Our Flexible Path will update as technology and solutions emerge. Under this Flexible Path we want to make sure that we:

• Are flexible and adaptable
