Advanced Power Alliance was pleased to be featured in a recent KXAN News/The Hill investigation, shedding light on the evolving landscape of renewable energy in Texas. The article, titled “As Political Winds Shift, Austin Braces for Renewable Energy Impact,“ explores how shifting policies and industry developments are shaping the future of clean energy across the state. The video version of the report is available separately here.
As the leading advocate for renewable energy development in the region, the Advanced Power Alliance remains committed to ensuring a reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future. In our contribution to the report, we emphasized the importance of long-term policy certainty, transmission investment, and market-driven solutions to maintain Texas’ leadership in renewable energy.
Texas has long been a powerhouse in wind and solar energy, providing clean, cost-effective power while supporting thousands of jobs and driving economic growth in rural communities. However, as noted in the KXAN investigation, recent policy changes and grid challenges have introduced new complexities. Our stance remains clear: smart investments in transmission infrastructure and grid modernization will be key to securing a resilient energy future.
One of the central themes of our discussion in the report is the need for expanded transmission capacity to maximize the benefits of Texas’ abundant renewable resources. Without it, energy bottlenecks could lead to higher costs for consumers and missed opportunities for rural economies that rely on renewable energy development.
We continue to advocate for solutions that support both reliability and affordability while leveraging Texas’ strengths in innovation and market-driven energy policies.
We invite you to read the full KXAN investigation here, to watch the video here, and to learn more about how these issues are shaping the future of energy in Texas.
Advanced Power Alliance remains steadfast in our mission to advance policies that support a cleaner, stronger, and more competitive energy market. We encourage policymakers, industry leaders, and the public to engage in this critical conversation.
