Relating to the establishment of the Texas geothermal energy production policy council.
SB 2671 establishes the Texas Geothermal Energy Production Policy Council within the state commission to study and recommend policies for geothermal energy development. The council, composed of commission officials, a university geology director, and up to 11 industry representatives, will analyze geothermal project growth, tax incentives, and federal partnerships to develop a state oversight plan. It must provide legislative recommendations for regulating geothermal production, pipelines, and storage by 2032, when the council expires. This bill creates a temporary advisory body focused on policy research, not new regulations or funding.
