The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the city s electric utility division to implement a voluntary program allowing customers to purchase renewable energy at its March 2 meeting.Â
Assistant Director for Public Services for Electric Utility Tyler Hjorth says the program will allow electric customers to pay an additional $5 a month for one year to guarantee they are receiving 100% renewable energy at their home and business.
When the time for annual renewals approaches, customers will be notified of any price change and can decide to continue the program or opt-out of it.

The San Marcos City Council approved a resolution in support of the possible establishment of an Indigenous culture center at its meeting on Feb. 24.Â
The resolution proposes the possibility of the Indigenous Cultures Institute and the city co-applying for Hays County Parks and Open Space Bond funding and for city property to be used for the project. At this time, the approval of the resolution does not commit the city to provide any funding or land and only supports the Indigenous Cultures Institute as it pursues funding with Hays County.
