Local Government Energy Reporting Outreach
71% of the population of Texas lives in 41 counties currently in non-attainment or near non-attainment with the Clean Air Act. In order to curb air pollution associated with electricity consumption, Health and Safety Code §388.005 requires energy efficiency programs in political subdivisions, institutions of higher education and state agency facilities located in these affected counties in Texas.
Local Government / State Agency Energy Reporting Frequently Asked Questions:
SPEER has developed a Frequently Asked Questions guide to support political subdivisions with their 2022 reporting, and we are available to answer questions or provide technical support to any reporting entities. If you have questions about reporting requirements please reach out to SPEER’s Local Government Program Manager at cities@eepartnership.org.
Each political subdivision, institution of higher education or state agency in the affected counties is required by state law to:
- Establish a goal to reduce the entity’s electricity consumption by at least 5 percent annually for 7 years, beginning Sept. 1, 2019; and
- Submit a report annually to the State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) regarding the entity’s progress and efforts to meet the 5 percent annual reduction goal.
Find more information on the State Energy Conservation Office here.
Download this Reporting Template for collecting data and submitting the report.
