The Pollution Mitigation Program allows SECO to provide technical assistance to public entities in the State of Texas. This program demonstrates the value of energy-related technologies, technology transfer and training, energy-efficient green building practices and the development of long-term performance, emissions, and energy data. The goal is to promote pollution mitigation strategies. The objective is to encourage, promote and evaluate feasibility studies, model development, and demonstration and profiling projects.

The value of energy-related technologies is demonstrated by actual use in the public facilities through a reduction in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The value is then reported to SECO and disseminated to other public entities with similar needs. An annual report is published and made public. Also, public entities give presentations during workshops reporting on the technologies they have employed and their effectiveness. The audience is other public entities. SECO also regularly gives workshops introducing public entities to new and existing technologies that may be beneficial to them.

The value of energy related technologies will be demonstrated throughout the State of Texas. SECO receives annual reports from individual public entities reporting their efforts to reduce electrical consumption. Strategies will be promoted through SECO and the Texas Energy Partnership. Presentations are made frequently though workshops, meetings, individual contact and updated website data.

Local Governments Technical Assistance

Local Governments Technical Assistance provides personalized on-site technical assistance to political subdivisions, including local governments and municipalities, particularly those affected by the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP).

Technical assistance includes a free Preliminary Energy Assessment Service which identify system and equipment replacement projects, along with installation cost estimates, estimated energy and cost savings, and payback analyses for each recommended project. Local Governments Technical Assistance also works with the local government representative on how to move forward with the implementation of the recommended projects.
