Senate Bill 924 Mandates
In 2011, the 82nd Legislature passed Senate Bill 924 amending Utilities Code §39.9051-§39.9052 to require certain utilities to report to SECO.
Beginning April 1, 2012, all electric cooperatives having retail sales of more than 500,000 megawatt hours in 2005 and municipally owned utilities must report to SECO information regarding the combined effects of the energy efficiency activities of the utility from the previous calendar year. This includes the utility's annual goals, programs enacted to achieve those goals and any energy demands or savings goals reached.
SECO sends the reports to the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station of the Texas A&M University System. ESL calculates the energy savings and estimated pollution reductions resulting from the reported activities, sharing the results of its analysis with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
