During peak energy times, CPS Energy sends out emails and phone calls to customers, rating them on their energy use compared with that of neighbors in 100 homes of similar size.“It only amounted to a few dollars, but I really liked it,” said Shelia Treviño, a realtor who moved to the Northeast Side of San Antonio from Illinois in April.
“Didn’t cook, and didn’t charge electronics or watch TV,” Treviño said. “I was happy to see that I was No. 9 in my neighborhood. Yay! But wait, no discount?
