Backup Power Funding for Texas Facilities

Texas set aside $1.8 billion to help critical community facilities install backup power. If your facility serves public safety or public health, you may qualify for grants and low-cost loans through the Texas Backup Power Package (TBPP). 

What you could receive:

  • Grants up to $500 per kW of backup capacity 
  • Forgivable low-cost loans for additional project costs 

 

Funding goes to the facility owner. Awards are competitive, so facilities that move early are best positioned. 

Who qualifies:

  • Hospitals and clinics
  • Nursing homes and assisted living centers
  • Police and fire stations 
  • 9-1-1 and emergency operations centers 
  • Water and wastewater utilities 
  • Community heating and cooling centers 
  • Gas stations and convenience stores in rural areas and along evacuation routes 

Your facility must be under 2.5 MW. Not sure where you fall? We can help you figure it out. 

What the system includes:

This isn’t a standby generator. A qualifying package combines natural gas or propane generation, battery storage and solar. It must run 48 continuous hours in islanded mode.
