SB 1754 – Ends property tax breaks for renewables

SB 1754 stops cities and counties in Texas from giving property tax breaks to wind, solar, or standalone battery facilities that sell power wholesale into the grid. By eliminating local subsidies, the bill aims to protect taxpayers from propping up industries that already receive massive federal incentives. It promotes a level playing field and encourages fiscal discipline at the local level. Overall, S.B. 1754 is a strong step toward limiting government favoritism and defending taxpayers from more taxpayer-funded tax breaks.
