The 88th Texas Legislative Session featured a clash of two forces struggling to influence the future of Texas energy—one side looking to reverse the Texas energy miracle, characterized by rapid development of large-scale wind and solar power generation, and the other side staunchly defending the competitive market, a hallmark of the state's energy system.

Incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) are working as intended: they are spurring increased deployment of new wind, solar, and electric vehicle (EV) charging projects, and advanced energy manufacturing projects are proliferating across the country. But there remain regulations that are stalling further investment. In particular, cumbersome permitting processes for energy projects have created significant roadblocks to our 100% clean energy goals and imperil the energy transition. In response, permitting reform is a key priority for the 118th Congress.

Our team had the privilege to attend the 46th National Conference hosted by AABE (the American Association of Blacks in Energy) representing our organization and our members, and specifically a coalition of our members who joined us in a shared sponsorship in support of the event: DNV, Key Capture Energy, LS Power, Microsoft, Sunrun, Utilidata, and Sunpower.
