AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance the continuous provision of power in Texas by establishing the "Texas Backup Power Package" program. The bill defines a "Texas Backup Power Package" as a stand-alone, behind-the-meter, multi-day backup power source that can be used for islanding, and it directs the state's Division of Emergency Management to develop standards and provide grants and loans for the installation and operation of these packages, prioritizing critical facilities such as those that serve public safety and health. The bill also requires transmission and distribution utilities to limit load shedding on distribution feeders and to conduct circuit segmentation studies to improve outage management. Additionally, the bill directs the Public Utility Commission to expedite the interconnection process for these backup power packages.
