Local Governments
Local governments are demonstrating leadership through energy efficiency. Energy management programs and efficiency projects enable cities to better maintain their buildings and equipment while saving public monies in utility expenses. SPEER’s Local Governments Program support city energy management by facilitating sharing of best practices in energy efficiency, while strengthening relationships among local governments.

Statewide TX Public Sector Engagement & Survey Group
SPEER in partnership with the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) has launched a statewide Texas Energy Engagement Group to assess local government and public sector energy needs. Come participate with us and provide valuable insight into important issues such as Texas’ energy equity, resiliency, and sustainability to produce an understanding of what cities and local governments find essential for efficiency and energy strategies and programs.
Local Government Energy Reporting Outreach
We provide education and technical assistance with local government energy efficiency and reporting requirements.
Dive into this how-to and resource guide for establishing or building energy efficiency programs and initiatives. SPEER worked with CELC member cities to consolidate relevant resources in ten toolkit modules. We will continue to grow the toolkit as resources and module topics emerge from the network.
