CPS Energy officials said Monday that charges stemming from February’s winter storm, customers’ mounting past-due bills and lower-than-expected revenue from wholesale electricity sales this year are pushing the city-owned utility closer to seeking a rate increase.
CPS suspended disconnections for unpaid power bills last spring and as of March 31, customers were $100 million in arrears. A year earlier, customers owed just under $36 million in past-due bills.

In an open letter to Mayor Ron Nirenberg and city council, 27 environmental and social justice groups urged the city to shield vulnerable residents from utility rate hikes and outages as it moves to meet climate goals. The letter, posted on Earth Day, argues that February s Winter Storm Uri, which left millions of Texans without power, had the most devastating impact on low-income families, the elderly and people with disabilities. At least 133 Texans, including nine in Bexar County, died due to the storm, according to the most recent state health data.
