AUSTIN, Texas – State Representative David Spiller (R-Jacksboro) has been appointed as Co-Chair to the Texas Energy Fund Advisory Committee. The Texas Energy Fund Advisory Committee was created by SB 2627 during the 88th Legislative Session and approved by voters last November as a constitutional amendment.
The Texas Energy Fund Advisory Committee is made up of six members of the Legislature, three members appointed by the Speaker of the House, and three members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor. The Committee will oversee the Texas Energy Fund and provide input and recommendations to the Public Utility Commission of Texas on the use of the fund in providing loans for the construction, maintenance, and modernization of electric generating facilities to increase reliability across the state.
“It is a privilege to be named Co-Chair for the Texas Energy Fund Advisory Committee by the Speaker of the Texas House. As a member of the House Committee on State Affairs, I was pleased to participate extensively in this process, as the Legislature made significant strides to ensure the reliability of our electric grid during the 88th Legislative Session. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in this capacity and look forward to working with my colleagues on this important issue for Texas,” said Representative Spiller.
