How to Participate
Austin Energy (AE) has begun a public participation process designed to inform the citizens of Austin about future energy needs and challenges. This process invites discussion and feedback on an energy plan that assures reliable supplies of electricity between now and 2020. The public participation process will involve a series of “town-hall” meetings, as well as meetings with specific stakeholder groups.

AE will distribute information on a draft energy plan, seeking input and discussion from across our community. The schedule of meetings and information is available under the Get Involved section of this web site. In addition the following tools are also provided for you to assess the draft plan and participate in the planning process.
