Energy Efficiency at the PUCT

The PUCT's Energy Efficiency Division (EED) oversees energy efficiency programs administered by the eight investor-owned utilities (IOUs). These programs ensure all IOU residential consumers and participating distribution-level commercial customers have access to energy efficiency programs. EED staff work with an Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (EM&V) contractor — Tetra Tech — to evaluate these programs annually and ensure the IOUs meet their energy efficiency goals mandated by the Public Utility Regulatory Act. The EED also makes regulatory recommendations to the Commission on energy efficiency policies, procedures, and rules.
