A new statewide survey commissioned by Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation (CTEI) and conducted by Public Opinion Strategies (March 22-30, 2025) reveals overwhelming support among Texas voters for clean energy solutions to meet the state’s growing energy demands. The biennial poll of 1,000 registered voters shows a clear preference for an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, emphasizingContinue reading “Texans Champion Clean Energy: 2025 CTEI Survey Highlights Growing Support”

House Bill 3722 (Hefner)
HB 3722 favors the few, harms the many, and solves no real problem.
House Bill 1378 (Virdell)
Code Concepts Group, LLC was engaged by the Advanced Power Alliance and Texas Solar + Storage Association to review and provide expert input on battery energy storage safety legislation in Texas. Based on our review, we believe House Bill 1378 (Virdell) represents a significant step backwards in the safe installation and operation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas.
Anti-Energy Bills
APA & TSSA oppose SB 715, HB 3356, SB 819, and SB 388, which undermine Texas’ business climate, degrade private property rights, raise consumer costs, weaken grid reliability, target clean energy, and threaten Texas’ competitive energy market.
House Bill 5007 (Lambert)
TSSA & APA support efforts to further ensure that Texas is secure while remaining competitive and business friendly. While our organizations have concerns about the bill in its current form, we understand progress is being made to resolve concerns expressed by parties in the energy sector, including our members. We deeply appreciate Representative Lambert’s efforts.
House Bill 3356 (Patterson)
APA opposes HB 3356 (Patterson), which threatens grid reliability, raises consumer costs, and disrupts a well-functioning market that is already adapting to meet system needs.
House Bill 3278 (McLaughlin)
APA opposes HB 3278 (McLaughlin), which proposes a redundant, unnecessary study of clean energy development impacts that would ultimately be an inefficient use of taxpayer resources.
Senate Bill 1754 (Birdwell)
APA opposes SB 1754 (Birdwell), which undermines local control, free markets, and competition by targeting technologies that deliver reliable energy and economic benefits during a time of rapid load growth.
House Bill 3556 (Vasut)
APA opposes HB 3556 (Vasut), which will expand government overreach, trample property rights, and stall energy investment in Texas.
Firming Requirements in ERCOT
In reviewing current firming policy contained in House Bill 1500 (88R), as well as other proposals before the Texas Legislature—primarily Senate Bill 715 (89-R)—we provide the following analysis detailing how such proposals will threaten reliability, raise consumer costs, and disrupt a well-functioning market that is already adapting to meet system needs.
