City offers energy credit program
The city of San Marcos Electric Utility is offering registration for the new City Council-approved Renewable Energy Credit Program beginning Saturday. The program will allow customers to purchase energy that has been metered and verified from renewable sources, including wind and solar power.

Customers who choose to enroll in the Renewable Energy Credit Program will see a “Renewable Energy Adder” charge on their monthly bill. The additional $5/1,000 kWh charge covers all costs associated with RECs, including transaction and administrative fees for buying, tracking, recording, and retiring the credits.

Historic Investments In New York’s Education Systems
The State Budget takes transformational steps to increase state and federal resources to ensure that all of New York’s students receive the high quality education they deserve and that all teachers are adequately supported. The 2021-2022 State Budget:
Provides a $1.4 billion increase in Foundation Aid and a three-year Foundation Aid phase-in that will finally fulfill a promise made in 2007 to fully fund our public schools
Provides a $105 million expansion of full-day prekindergarten, providing pre-K funding to 210 districts who don’t currently receive state-funded full-day Pre-K.
Ensures that additional Federal Aid will supplement, and not supplant State funding.
Unfortunately, the latter is hamstringing Louisville City Council’s ability to fully act to address the former.
City officials and staffers gathered for a special council meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the potential for new sustainability taxes to be put to local voters in November. The consensus from elected leaders was: As local residents and business owners climb out of the COVID-19 hole, now is not the right time for a new tax.
Monday’s discussion arose out of a 2019 resolution passed by the City Council that expressed the body’s commitment to climate action and established carbon-reduction goals.
City staff then reached out to Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL) to discuss collaboration options.
