Proposing a constitutional amendment to authorize the use of money from the Texas energy fund for energy efficiency projects conducted to benefit retail electric customers.

HJR 218 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow the Texas Energy Fund to finance energy efficiency projects directly benefiting retail electric customers. The amendment would permit the Public Utility Commission to use these funds for grants or loans to support such projects, with allocations prioritizing backup power sources and distributing funds proportionally across grid regions based on electricity demand. This measure requires voter approval in the November 2025 election and does not change current fund usage for grid reliability projects.
