TXU Energy and the City of Dallas have announced that the new electric vehicle charging stations that have just powered up at Dallas City Hall recently will be free for one year. The stations are the first of five EV charging stations that will be available to city employees and the public across Dallas, compliments of TXU Energy.
The new stations are part of the TXU Energy EV Accelerator ProgramSM, which is the company’s effort to help jump-start EV programs in Texas. The company is investing in about a dozen charging stations across the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. The locations and type of charging station equipment will be selected by each city, and TXU Energy will fund the cost of the charging station equipment, infrastructure, installation—and the electricity used to power EVs for the first year.
As part of the company’s three-year contract with the City of Dallas, TXU Energy also gave the city an electric vehicle and is making $800,000 in energy efficiency rebates available. These rebates are part of the BrightenSM GreenBack rebate program, which will help the city install proven energy efficiency technologies, such as fluorescent fixture retrofits, LED exit signs, control system upgrades and high-efficiency HVACs. TXU Energy is the only retail electricity provider in Texas to offer energy rebate programs to businesses looking to help the environment and reduce energy costs.
