Request for approval of a renewal option with BDO (formerly Horne LLP) to provide compliance services and program administration support for the Solar for All program for the period of July 10, 2026 - July 9, 2027, at no cost. This is for future compliance needs if grant funds are restored.

The goal of the project is to transform access to distributed solar for low-income and disadvantaged communities in Texas by creating new community wealth and savings through energy cost reductions, equity opportunities, and access to good-paying clean energy jobs. Compliance services and program administration support will be utilized in the event illegally terminated grant funds are restored as a result of Harris County's lawsuit against the federal government.
