CPS Energy - New Residential Construction Incentives

August 11, 2023

Summary

CPS Energy offers incentives for new residential construction that is at least 15% more efficient than than International Energy Conservation Code 2018 (IECC 2018) building code.

The Residential New Construction Incentive Program does not specify eligible measures, but rather provides a rebate based on a "whole home performance."

CPS Energy offers builders and contractors incentives for new, energy-efficient residential buildings in the CPS Energy service area in San Antonio. Applicants must submit an initial reservation application, as well as a final application utilizing a program-recognized home energy performance test. Approved methods can be found at the above link.

Multi-family residential buildings qualify for the residential incentives if they have 3 units or fewer. Buildings with 4 units or more qualify as commercial buildings and are eligible for the New Commercial Construction incentives. Applications, guidelines, checklists, and other information are available on the program web site.
