System peak demand is the largest amount of electricty consumed by Austin Energy customers at one time. Every year for the past five years, the system peak occurred between 4 and 5 p.m. The utilty is constantly working to assure the distribution grid is ready and capable of handling the peak energy demand that occurs during the summer months.

Extra bags of trash that do not fit in your trash cart with the lid closed must be placed next to the trash cart and tagged with an Extra Trash Sticker, which can be purchased at H-E-B, Randall's and most local grocery stores for $4 + tax. Extra bags without a sticker will be charged a per-bag fee of $9.60 + tax. If you find that you often set out extra bagged garbage, consider switching to a larger cart for $15 (plus applicable monthly cart fee).

The Austin Energy system average carbon intensity is calculated as total greenhouse gas emissions at the point of combustion in pounds of CO2-equivalents divided by net generation in kilowatt-hours from all Austin Energy resources. Austin Energy generation resources include natural gas, coal and nuclear-powered units; renewable resources; and purchased power from renewable and non-renewable resources. GreenChoice® energy sales are subtracted from the net generation total since GreenChoice customers can claim their carbon intensity to be zero.

NOTE: As of 2017 the metric reported was changed to reporting lbs CO2/kWh. Years before 2017 has different metrics reported.

Austin Energy has four main customer classes: residential, commercial, industrial, and other.

Residential customers live in single-family dwellings, mobile homes, townhouses, or individually metered apartment units.

The majority of commercial customers are small to large businesses that fall under Austin Energy’s secondary level of service. This means Austin Energy owns, operates, and maintains the equipment (wires, transformers, etc.) supplying power to those facilities.

Industrial (Primary) customers take service at high voltage (12,500 volts or higher) and own, operate and maintain their own equipment. Consequently, Austin Energy experiences lower overall system losses and it costs less to serve these customers. Large commercial and industrial customers such as semiconductors, high-tech facilities, and data centers typically fall under the primary level of service. These customers have very high usage and load factors because they tend to operate 24/7.

The final class, other, typically refers to street lighting and facilities such as ballparks.

Austin Energy generates power through a diverse generation portfolio of natural gas, coal, nuclear, renewable resources and purchased power.
