Tell legislators:
Support affordable and reliable energy
Texas' energy leadership will be critical to the recovery of our state. Our leaders need to support policies in this legislative session that embrace resilient technologies that can withstand unforeseen storms and conditions, are affordable AND reliable.
New solutions bolster Texas' leadership–and that's why we need our policy makers to look beyond just weatherization and supply side resources. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are the next frontier for our energy grid to keep the lights on at a price that all Texans can afford.
What are DERs?
DERs are a growing segment of the Texas advanced energy economy, capable of producing power, managing electric demand, and delivering grid services. They include a broad range of technologies like:
- Distributed solar
- Battery and thermal storage
- Customer-owned generation
- Smart thermostats
- Energy efficiency
- Electric vehicles
- Demand response
