SUMMARY:TIEEN Webinar: Legislative and Regulatory Developments in Texas Impacting Energy Production\, Efficiency\, and Use
DESCRIPTION:The next TIEEN collaborative webinar will take place Tuesday\, October 17\, 2023\, 2:00-3:30 pm (Central). This will be a panel discussion on the topic of Legislative and Regulatory Developments in Texas Impacting Energy Production\, Efficiency\, and Use. The recent Texas legislative session included several bills with significant potential impacts on both deployment of renewables and energy efficiency. For example\, Senate Bill 624 would have created a new layer of state approval for all new wind and solar farms\, making projects much more difficult and costly to implement. Meanwhile\, Senate Bill 258\, which would have increased energy savings goals for utilities\, was left pending in committee. Furthermore\, operators are getting mixed signals from Federal and State governments. This makes it difficult to manage their operations\, and especially difficult to plan for new projects. Experts and market participants will share their insights in TIEEN’s engaging online panel discussion. We invite you to join us at this thought-provoking event\, as we grapple with this challenging topic. PDH certificates are available.
