Background and Discussion:
On July 15, 2024, Commissioners Court approved a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the County’s Revolving Energy Efficiency Fund (REEF). The SOP states that the Office of County Administration, in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget, will recommend a budget for the fund as part of the annual budget cycle. The policy approved by the Court specifies that 50% of the funds saved through energy efficiency measures will be budgeted in the REEF.
As part of the FY26 budget process, a transfer of $1,036,664 into the REEF budget is recommended, of which 75% will be transferred at the August 7th Court, with the remainder to be transferred in the Q1 of FY26.
The FY26 REEF budget will fund a range of strategic initiatives, including energy management services, ongoing measurement and verification of energy efficiency projects, software for identifying energy-saving opportunities, an energy management dashboard, submeter installations, and energy audits and efficiency development studies.
Expected Impact:
The transmitted budget will allow continued investment and management of energy efficiency projects and to drive additional savings in County utility bills.
Alternative Options:
If Court chooses to not adopt the transmitted budget we would have to fine alternative funding to continue the energy management service.
