Agenda Item

Hear presentation on Propane Conversion and Fueling Station project.

Background

In March of 2009 the DOE announced the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant awards. Williamson County was awarded $611,600 using program formulas through the 2007 U.S. Census population data. One of the purposes of the grant was to promote energy efficiency and conservation projects that reduced energy use and improved energy efficiency in the transportation and building sector. The DOE approved a two part project for the County that included Energy Efficiency Lighting Retrofits for County buildings and propane vehicle conversion and infrastructure.

In addition, the County elected to participate as a sub-recipient with the Texas Railroad Commission in their DOE grant. The Railroad Commission grant funds allowed the County to install a propane fueling station at the Round Rock Annex and to convert additional vehicles to propane. The official ribbon cutting for the Round Rock propane fueling station will be on Thursday, January 5th.
