Bill Summary

Relating to the reliability of the ERCOT power grid.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Utilities Code to improve the reliability of the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) power grid. Key provisions include requiring the independent organization (ERCOT) to establish requirements for reliability services, procure these services competitively, and allocate the costs of these services among dispatchable generation facilities, non-dispatchable generation facilities, and load-serving entities based on their contribution to net load variability. The bill also requires ERCOT to develop an ancillary services program for dispatchable reliability reserve services to account for market uncertainty. Additionally, the bill requires the Public Utility Commission of Texas to file annual reports on the costs and implementation of these reliability measures.
