Reduced electric rates for San Antonio debut January 1914
The Gas and Electric Company will lower the residential rate from 14 to 12 cents per kilowatt for the first 25 kilowatts, with further tiered pricing down to 2 cents for over 9,000 kilowatts. The move, aided by modern machinery and rising demand, aims to save about $35,000 yearly and positions San Antonio's rates favorably against other Texas cities.
