CPS Energy warns customers about people impersonating utility employees

SAN ANTONIO – CPS Energy is warning customers after receiving reports of people trying to impersonate its employees.

The utility offered the following information to protect yourself from imposters:

• CPS Energy contractors are readily identifiable and have official badges.
• Employees will rarely ask to come inside your home.
• Employees will rarely ask you to come outside.
• Employees will almost never ask to see your CPS Energy bill to begin a conversation at your doorstep.
