Winter Is Coming - Protect Texas Renewable Energy and Battery Storage

3_12_2021, 2_08_47 PM.jpeg

As Texans, we know the importance of keeping our power reliable and affordable - especially as we head into another unpredictable winter. 

Renewable energy and battery storage are keeping bills down for millions of Texans. Wind and solar are now some of the cheapest sources of power in our state, providing low-cost electricity that helps shield families from astronomical price increases. These abundant, affordable energy sources are saving us billions every year while attracting new jobs and investments to our communities, and keeping the lights on.

That’s why we’re calling on Governor Abbott and his appointees at the Public Utility Commission of Texas to defend renewable energy and battery storage in Texas.

Clean, renewable energy and battery storage are keeping the grid stable. During record heat and cold, renewables and storage have held it down - powering homes when Texans needed it most. Pairing renewables with battery storage strengthens our energy resilience and helps ensure the lights stay on through extreme weather.

Texans can’t afford another Winter Storm Uri.

Some state leaders are pushing policies that would halt renewable progress, limit market competition, and drive up costs for everyday Texans. That’s the wrong direction for our future.

Texas has long been an energy leader. Let’s keep it that way.

Add your name to defend renewable energy and battery storage and keep the lights on for Texans.

As a Texan, I have a right to reliable, affordable energy. With the extreme heat of summer behind us, I’m thinking now about potential winter storms and the danger of extreme weather. I don’t want my energy costs going up, or to lose power to my home when I need it most. That’s why I’m urging you and the PUCT to: Protect renewable energy across Texas Support energy storage and transmission projects that improve grid reliability Reject efforts that favor industry special interest at the expense of our communities Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I hope you will take all steps necessary to protect the clean, reliable, affordable energy that’s powering Texas and keeping costs down.
