UPDATE: Local Government Energy Reporting

As many of you may be aware, today is the last day of the State fiscal year. In years past this was also the first day to start submitting mandatory Local Government Energy Reporting to the State Energy Conservation Office. The Texas Health and Safety Code §388.005(c) requires political subdivisions in a non-attainment areas or affected counties to establish a goal to reduce electric consumption by at least five percent each state year and report on progress to the State Energy Conservation Office. 

NEW FOR 2020:

The reporting form for 2020 is not yet available. The reporting process is under going some modifications.

2020 reports will not be due until February 1, 2021, and will cover CALENDAR year 2020. 

Check back here or on the SECO website for further updates. If you have questions about reporting requirements please reach out to me at cities@eepartnership.org.
