REAP was established in 2002 through a partnership between CPS Energy, the City of San Antonio, and Bexar County. CPS Energy contributes $1 million annually directly to the REAP fund and works throughout the year to raise additional funds for the program. CPS Energy handles the program's marketing, fundraising, and back office administrative requirements. The City of San Antonio and Bexar County handle the application process. This invaluable program is one of our commitments to provide help to pay energy bills for customers who qualify for assistance.
