A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the provision of grants from the Texas energy fund for

certain energy efficiency projects.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 34, Utilities Code, is

amended by adding Section 34.01051 to read as follows:

Sec.

34.01051.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY GRANTS. (a) The

commission may use money in the fund without further appropriation

to provide grants for energy efficiency projects that benefit

retail electric customers, including residential weatherization,

demand reduction, or energy loss prevention projects.

(b)

The commission by rule shall establish eligibility

criteria to receive a grant under this section.

(c)

The commission may provide a grant under this section

to:

(1) a retail electric customer; or

(2) a nonprofit corporation.

(d)

Section 35.005(d) does not apply to a grant provided

under this section.

SECTION 2. This Act takes effect January 1, 2026, but only

if the constitutional amendment proposed by the 89th Legislature,

Regular Session, 2025, authorizing the use of money in the Texas

energy fund for energy efficiency projects that benefit retail

electric customers is approved by the voters. If that amendment is

not approved by the voters, this Act has no effect.
