Texas PUC Schedules Workshop On SB6 (New Law Addressing Large Loads, Transmission Cost Assignment, More)
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Staff of the Texas PUC will host a workshop on July 21, 2025 to receive public input on topics related to implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 6
An agenda will be filed closer to the date of the workshop.
Among other things, SB6 includes new provisions governing large load interconnection and the co-location of large load customers with
existing generation resources
SB6 requires the development of a protocol for new large load customers to allow the load to be curtailed
during firm load shed
The law also requires ERCOT to develop a reliability service to competitively procure
demand reductions from large load customers with a demand of at
least 75 megawatts to be deployed in the event of an anticipated
emergency condition. Such a new program shall prohibit participation by any large load customer
that curtails in response to the wholesale price of electricity
SB6 also requires the PUC to
evaluate whether the existing methodology used to charge wholesale
transmission costs to distribution providers under Section
35.004(d), Utilities Code, continues to appropriately assign costs
for transmission investment (i.e. 4CP)
Project No. 58317, SB 6 Implementation
