Solar In Your Community – Alamo Solar Farms

Alamo Solar Farms Produce MASSIVE Amounts Of Clean Energy For San Antonio

Electric rates in San Antonio are among the lowest in the nation’s largest U.S. cities. And it’s no coincidence that CPS Energy, the local power utility, ranks first in the state and seventh in the nation for solar generation. CPS recently built out 400 megawatts (MW) of new solar power plants, while solar leasing and community solar power programs in San Antonio are underway to help more people and businesses benefit directly from solar installations.
