THE VISION OF STEPAligned with City of San Antonio & Mayor Hardberger’s Mission Verde Initiative• Promoted a sustainability vision for San
Antonio• Placed us at forefront of New Energy Era• Created green jobs locally with new skillsEmbraced Conservation as the “Fifth Fuel”• Created additional diversity to our generation
mix• Avoided need for a power plant• Reduced dependence on fossil fuels
Responding to the community, we developed the STEP Program, a comprehensive energy efficiency & conservation
portfolio of products & services

Renewables
Nuclear
“The Fifth Fuel”
• Approved by the Board & City Council in 2009• Created an ordinance based on the program
presented• Designed to deliver benefits:
– Delaying or avoiding the need for new generation capacity & transmission infrastructure
– Leverage emerging technologies– Help customers manage their energy
consumption– Support job creation & economic growth– Reduce carbon emission & air pollution

2009 Approach(Traditional)
• Large Baseload Assets• 40+ year
commitments• 5-year lead time• $1B+ Investment
2019 Approach(Flexible Path)
• Smaller Investments• More Agile & Dynamic• More Renewables• Energy Storage• New Technologies on
the Horizon
STEP bridged the transition to our diverse generation portfolio and is key to our Flexible Path strategy

HIGHLIGHTSSTEP PROGRAM REVIEW
1.4 TWh of gross electricity savings in FY 2019 - enough energy to power 104,000 Greater San Antonio Area households for the year. Over the life of STEP so far, it has yielded 6.3 TWh of electricity savings.
680 estimated annual jobs and $28 million in annual income from FY 2009 to FY 2019. In total, STEP generated 7,500 local job-years and$312 million in labor income.
3.3 million (short) tons of CO2emissions reductions. Additionally, STEP has reduced SO2emissions by 6.6 million lbs. and NOXemissions by 3.1 million lbs.

DELIVERING ON WEATHERIZATION
(1) as of Sep 30, 2019(2) Income eligibility for Weatherization is based on <200% of federal poverty level
• By end of FY20, we’ll have weatherized 29,000 homes under STEP and ARRA
• Total Weatherization spending to date:
ARRA $ 17.0 MSTEP(1) $125.5 M
$142.5 M• Another 26,000 applied but were
disqualified due to income(2) or structural issues.
