Energy and Water Management Plan
State law 4 Tex. Gov. Code §447.009 (c) and (e) directs each state agency and institution of higher education to set percentage goals for reducing its usage of water, electricity, gasoline and natural gas. These goals are to be included in a comprehensive energy and water management plan (EWMP). This law was intended to streamline and standardize the energy reporting requirements of agencies and universities.
SECO has created a template for a comprehensive energy and water management plan for state agencies and institutions of higher education to use as guidance for reporting. EWMPs must be submitted annually to SECO by October 31.

SECO has chosen to use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager as the online tool for state agencies and universities to report their water, electricity and natural gas usage.
The following guidance documents were developed to instruct agencies and universities on how to set up an account in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Reports are due on Oct. 31 of each year.
