Reminder: State Mandated Energy Reporting Requirement

On behalf of the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO), the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) would like to remind you of the state mandated energy reporting requirement.

Under Texas Health and Safety Code §388.005(c), all political subdivisions, state agencies and institutes of higher education in an ozone non-attainment area or an affected county are required to establish a goal to reduce electricity consumption by at least five percent each year. Each political subdivision must submit a report annually to SECO regarding the entity's progress and efforts to meet the five percent annual reduction goal. 2020 reports will not be due until February 1, 2021, and will cover CALENDAR year 2020.

The reporting form for 2020 is not yet available. The reporting process is undergoing some modifications.

For updates on the Local Government Energy Report and program, visit SECOs Local Government Energy Reporting webpage. If you have questions about the reporting requirements or report please contact energy@nctcog.org.
