Electrify San Antonio

An Augmented Reality Journey

Electrify San Antonio

It is easy to take electric power for granted when we live our lives having access at the flip of the switch, but the reality is much deeper. Electrify San Antonio will take you on a journey through the complex systems of machines, wires, and dedicated workers at CPS Energy that turn the natural powers of our world into electricity consumed by the San Antonio community. With this augmented reality experience, you can easily learn about the life cycle of your energy, from generation to transformation, transmission to distribution, and ultimately use by you.
