Reliable power is more essential than ever as aging electric infrastructure is failing, demand for electricity is increasing, and severe weather is becoming more frequent and intense. Propane power generation is at the intersection of opportunity and technology and provides a clean, affordable, and reliable energy solution that won’t go down with the electric grid.

New generation alone will not be enough to meet the needs of future Texans based on ERCOT’s anticipated forecasts. Improvements to the existing #energyefficiency rules have the potential to provide much-needed relief to both the grid and Texans while new generation comes online. SPEER filed responses to the Public Utility Commission of Texas’ energy efficiency planning questions, due today by noon. You can read them here: https://ow.ly/Kkvi50RSyvy

ERCOT has increased calls for voluntary conservation across every season, not just the expected toasty summer months, and demand is expected to skyrocket by 2023. Efficiency measures, such as utilizing weatherization & more efficient HVAC systems, can significantly and reliably reduce demand on the grid at all hours, including during periods of the day where renewables are not as abundant. SPEER (and many other energy industry organizations!) submitted comments to the Public Utility Commission of Texas' energy efficiency planning questions. Among many other recommendations, we suggest reviewing ways to ensure the IOU efficiency program bonuses are rewarding BOTH energy efficiency and demand response (DR) separately!
