Bill Summary

Relating to the governance of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Office of Public Utility Counsel, and an independent organization certified to manage a power region.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Utilities Code to make several changes to the governance of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, the Office of Public Utility Counsel, and the independent organization (ERCOT) certified to manage the state's power region. Key provisions include requiring the presiding officer of the Public Utility Commission to be a Texas resident, requiring the Public Utility Counsel to be a Texas resident, and changing the composition of ERCOT's governing body to include more independent members with relevant professional experience rather than market participants. The bill also establishes an ERCOT Board Selection Committee to select the members of ERCOT's governing body and requires ERCOT to comply with these changes by September 1, 2021 or face potential decertification.
