Texas Energy Policy in Focus: Legislation, Permits, and the Path Ahead

Texas’ energy future hinges on the evolving policy landscape at both the state and federal levels. This session will cover the latest from the legislative session, updates from the PUC, and federal budget developments shaping renewable deployment. Speakers will discuss how permitting, interconnection delays, and regulatory signals are impacting solar and storage growth—and whether these technologies are on track to meet the state’s rising power demands through the end of the decade. The conversation will also explore how policy decisions are influencing domestic supply chains, particularly as Texas emerges as a key hub for cell and module manufacturing.
