April 20 Webinar Recording

Q: How do we create the opportunity in Texas’s deregulated energy market to provide low-cost and greater access to clean and renewable energy for more Texans?  

In Texas, state regulations allow millions of people to select their electricity provider.  

Although costs of solar and wind power are at record lows and continue to decline, Texans with less disposable income often pay more for electricity and have limited access to green energy and emergency backup power.  

The goal of Powered for Good is to design and help deliver clean, affordable, 100% renewable electricity offerings for low-income households in Texas’s Competitive Retail Areas, where households can choose their electricity provider. 

In HARC’s next webinar, learn how Powered for Good operates, the resources it provides, and how this initiative can help your community.
