A proposal by Gov. Greg Abbott aims to dissolve city-owned electric utilities. Supporters argue that revenue currently going to cities should instead be used to reduce electricity bills for customers.

Cities with large utilities, such as San Antonio and Austin, could lose substantial revenue if the proposal is enacted. The impact on these cities is significant, with hundreds of millions in revenue at stake. Further details on the proposal and its potential effects are available.

City-owned utilities claim to offer some of the cheapest electricity rates in the state due to their operational structure.
