Fort Bend Commissioner Andy Meyers Advocating for Clean Energy Expansion

KATY, TX (Covering Katy News) - Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers has taken his commitment to reliable energy solutions to Austin, where, on Wednesday, he participated in crucial meetings centering around enhancing the state's clean energy production to ensure greater security, reliability, and affordability for Texans.

"As an appointed member of Governor Abbott’s Advanced Nuclear Reactor Working Group, I am working with other Texas leaders to deliver innovative solutions to ensure Texas remains a leader as the Energy Capital of the World," Meyers said.

Meyers emphasized the significance of these efforts in light of past challenges faced by Fort Bend County and the Houston Region during events like Hurricane Beryl which caused widespread power outages.

"The Working Group is preparing several recommendations over the next few weeks for the Governor’s review on ways to secure our State’s growing energy and economic needs. I continue to appreciate constituents’ input in this critical and ongoing effort," Meyers said.
