Should San Antonio have another vote on city funds for Project Marvel? San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones says a second vote is needed. She joins The Source to explain why. Also what's her response to Governor Greg Abbott wanting to open the San Antonio electricity market to private companies? And should San Antonio have a moratorium on data centers?

CPS Energy leaders are mounting a defense of San Antonio’s municipally owned utility model after Gov. Greg Abbott called for opening its service territory to competing retail electricity providers.

The San Antonio-owned utility has kept rates low compared to other Texas metros, but Abbott doesn’t like how its profits fuel the city budget.

A judge ruled that CPS Energy breached contracts for natural gas purchased during the February 2021 winter storm, rejecting the municipally owned utility's claim that the agreements were unconscionable and ordering it to pay nearly $400 million to two Energy Transfer subsidiaries.

A special session of the San Antonio City Council on Monday was meant to provide information about two home explosions on the city’s Northeast side in April, but a federal investigation isn’t allowing much to be said.

CPS Energy named Chief Operating Officer Frank Almaraz as the interim head of the utility on Thursday during a special meeting.

Rudy Garza, the president and CEO of CPS Energy, delivered a notice of his intent to retire to the utility’s Board of Trustees on Monday. News followed that he will be general manager of the Lower Colorado River Authority.

The local utility will help develop potential options for a seawater desalination project at the Barney Davis Power Plant in Corpus Christi.

How is CPS Energy getting ready to respond to the energy needs of the community moving into the future? Massive data centers are moving into the area. Household affordability for energy remains an issue. Tapping into green renewable power is yet another concern. And getting ready for the worst weather of the winter remains a worry.
