HB 3722 favors the few, harms the many, and solves no real problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

APA opposes HB 3556 (Vasut), which will expand government overreach, trample property rights, and stall energy investment in Texas.
