Electricity
Exact amount: $43,882,579.00
FY2026 (July 2025–June 2026)
Plain words: CPS pays Constellation NewEnergy for buying the electricity itself. The box shows what CPS paid that company in fiscal year 2026 (July 2025 to June 2026): $37,377,201.26. CPS publishes payments by company, not by budget line, so this is our match to the electricity supply (Constellation sells CPS the power). Delivery over the wires is the separate 'Electricity delivery' line. The company total can include other CPS accounts, and companies paid under $1M are not in the file, so the rest of the line is shown as not matched.
The money goes to a few large companies, and CPS publishes what each was paid but not which budget line it came from.
