The Texas Energy Partnership – Clean Air through Energy Efficiency, is a partnership of the State Energy Conservation Office, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Rebuild America Program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program, which is also supported by DOE. The partnership was formed to assist affected jurisdictions in taking the appropriate steps to effectively and efficiently comply with Senate Bill 5 and provide access to the technical resources, assistance and the expertise of DOE and EPA.

All political subdivisions located within the 38 non-attainment and affected counties as listed in Senate Bill 5 are eligible to be partners
The Texas Energy Partnership will strive to:

• Reduce energy costs in buildings;
• Build energy efficiency into new buildings;
• Utilize renewable energy technologies;
• Develop institutional practices and policies to encourage long-term, energy- efficiency applications;
• Develop and implement an action plan to achieve energy-efficiency goals.
