Dear Friends of TEPRI,
When I joined TEPRI three years ago, I thought the greatest opportunities to help our low-income neighbors through energy would be energy efficiency and bill payment assistance. But this network has exposed that the opportunity is so much greater – we have a whole host of tools at our fingertips and we’re all getting better and smarter about using them.
At ETS19 earlier this month, I was honored to join a panel called “Love Thy Neighbor,” and my esteemed panelists and I had a thought provoking discussion. We talked about energy efficiency and assistance, but also covered opportunities for distributed energy resources, how to leverage big data analytics to stretch our dollars, and opportunities for workforce development. Our members are deploying these tools in creative ways, and we are working to support those efforts with intelligence and insight so that they may bring the best services to their communities in need.
Together, we are making good progress and as always, we appreciate your continued support.
Warmly,
Dana Harmon
Executive Director

Go Smart Solar
TEPRI is delighted to announce Go Smart Solar as a supporting member! Go Smart Solar exists to drive the rapid adoption of solar. They help consumers make informed decisions about solar energy solutions, mitigating the potential for knowledge and price to hold people back.
Go Smart Solar and TEPRI are collaborating on an innovative community solar program focused on LMI households. With proper program design, community solar will lower energy burdens and provide a positive long-term equity impact plus wealth creation.
Jason Pittman, Co-Founder and President of Go Smart Solar and TEPRI Board Member, looks forward to this continued partnership. He says, “Because we also believe positive social contributions are as important as financial returns, we take an active role in giving back to the community. Our TEPRI membership does just that – provides collaboration opportunities with experts and actively engages us with achieving our goal of using innovative solar programs to lower energy burdens.”

Dana Harmon Selected for Marshall Memorial Fellowship
TEPRI is excited to congratulate our Executive Director, Dana Harmon, for receiving the Marshall Memorial Fellowship (MMF) from The German Marshall Fund of the United States.The MMF is a leadership development program that prepares a new generation of leaders for transatlantic relations across all industries. Dana is one of 75 recipients this year and will join a community of 2500 members who have demonstrated a devotion to leadership and inciting change in their areas.
Margo Weisz, Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for TEPRI, is a past recipient of the Marshall Memorial Fellowship. She says of Dana’s selection:
“As an alumnus of the German Marshall Memorial Fellows program, the fellowship was formative for my life and career, and I am confident that the program will also be enriching for Dana. Throughout Dana’s tenure as Executive Director of TEPRI, I have witnessed her commitment to leadership and her uniquely collaborative style. Each year I seek to nominate promising leaders, like Dana, who are solving some of nation’s biggest problems to learn from our European counterparts at the EU and throughout the different countries.
Energy may be the most dynamic industry of our age, and I am confident Dana will find the MMF to be an intellectually exhilarating environment to explore holistic approaches to new energy solutions, and to alleviating energy barriers for the underserved. Dana is a first-rate leader and will represent us well as an ambassador to Europe to discuss the pressing issues around energy that we face around the globe.”
Dana is looking forward to beginning this special experience. She shares:
“I am honored and humbled to join such a distinguished network of leaders from the US and Europe. This program provides a unique opportunity for growth and idea exchange among all sectors, including business, government, and civil society. I’m excited to learn and contribute to a robust dialogue around some of our society‘s most pressing issues through the Marshall Memorial Fellowship, and I look forward to leveraging this opportunity to continue to advance TEPRI’s impact on energy poverty in Texas.”

Energy Thought Summit (ETS) 2019 Recap
We were thrilled to see equity included as a key theme of ETS19! The conference took place from April 15-18 in Austin and offered opportunities to hear from thought leaders in the energy industry about the future of safe and reliable electricity.
Our Executive Director Dana Harmon attended the conference and participated in a panel called “Love Thy Neighbor,” where she shed light on energy burdens in Texas. Thank you to ZPryme for the opportunity to spread awareness of issues around energy and poverty among an audience of thought-leaders and key decision makers.
