Our Energy Use
Energy Consumption
San Antonio is changing how we look at our energy needs. We treat our energy use with thought, purpose, and respect. Reducing the amount of energy we use each day will save us money, protect our air and water, and conserve our fuel supplies so they can last longer. Reducing our energy use is an important step in leading healthy lives.
