New Bill Could Affect the Way Texas Coops Buy Power
Yesterday, the Texas Senate sent a bill to the House that could affect the state’s coops. The bill establishes a Texas Energy Policy Council to develop a statewide strategic energy policy that balances public health and environmental matters with the issues of costs and energy reliability. The bill would set up a framework for coops and other utilities to buy power from natural gas generation facilities. See the full text of the proposed legislation here.
