A proposal by Gov. Greg Abbott has sparked concern among cities. Hundreds of millions in revenue could be lost annually if the plan is enacted. This revenue currently comes from city-owned energy utilities. The proposal's supporters argue that the money should instead go towards reducing electricity bills for customers.

Further details about the potential impact are available. Cities such as Austin and San Antonio would be affected by the proposal.

A significant payment to the city is expected from CPS Energy in fiscal year 2027, totaling $559.7 million.
