CPS Energy ranks No. 1 for the second year in a row in wind energy capacity among municipal utilities.
That’s the word from the American Wind Energy Association, a trade association that compiles the annual rankings. The association also named CPS Energy “Municipal Utility of the Year” for its continued growth and leadership in renewable wind energy.
CPS is working to reach a goal of having 20 percent of peak energy demand powered by renewable energy by the year 2020. Right now, CPS Energy receives approximately 578 megawatts of wind power from wind farms in West Texas and from the Texas coast.
If you’re a CPS customer, you can opt to buy wind-generated power through CPS’s Windtricity program.
