New Coalition Promotes Texas Wind Energy

0

A new coalition has launched with a mission to advocate for sustainable, market-driven electricity generation in Texas, including the expansion of wind energy.

The group, called Powering Texas, will focus on educating Texans about wind energy in the state – from the policies that have spurred immense growth in the industry to the resulting community investment, job creation and direct economic impact.

“Wind power has become an invaluable tool in the rural economic development space in Texas – creating jobs and generating revenue streams for rural Texans that strengthen our communities and provide needed economic opportunities for landowners and local school districts,” states Scott Dunaway, spokesperson for Powering Texas. “Powering Texas is advocating for the continued expansion of an electric generation fleet that reliably and sustainably powers Texans’ homes, businesses and communities for the future.”


“The wind energy industry has proven time and again to be valuable in south Texas, from its investment in our schools and community to the creation of steady jobs around the area,” adds Sergio Contreras, president and CEO of the Rio Grande Valley Partnership. “We’re proud to support wind power and its continued expansion here in the Valley and across the state.”
