TEPRI brings together diverse stakeholders from across the state to spearhead impactful research initiatives, build solutions-oriented coalitions, pilot innovative energy solutions, and champion lasting change in the Texas energy space:

- Conduct Research: We conduct research to advance knowledge about low-income consumers and their relationships to energy. Our work improves the systems that enab

le affordable, sustainable, and reliable energy solutions to reach underserved communities.
- Pilot Solutions: We work with energy stakeholders to identify cutting edge pathways for energy solutions deployment and implement recommendations from our research, including through demonstration projects and new product development.
- Develop Tools: We create tools to help stakeholders make more informed decisions about serving energy needs. We promote energy consumer engagement with the goal of building more effective programs.
- Create Connections: We aim to build cross-sector collaboration amongst stakeholders to identify long-term solutions that reduce the economic burden of residential energy, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and create new employment pathways. We link community voices with science, data, and the greater energy ecosystem in order to deliver the best available information to decision-makers.
