Low-Income Energy Efficiency

  • The electric competition law created a System Benefit Fund, part of which is used to help finance energy efficiency programs. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) will administer energy efficiency programs in coordination with existing weatherization programs. Utilities will develop standard-offer programs to install energy efficiency measures that may include: compact fluorescent lightbulb lease-purchase programs, refrigerator and air-conditioner lease-purchase programs, and water-flow restrictors (low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators) provided free of charge. Independent service providers will deliver these services to customers.
