Texas HB5200 mandates the evaluation of grid enhancing technologies and high-performance conductors in the ERCOT power region.
Texas HB5200 amends the Utilities Code to mandate the Public Utility Commission of Texas to adopt rules by January 1, 2026, ensuring the independent organization certified for the ERCOT power region considers the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness of grid enhancing technologies and high-performance conductors. These technologies include advanced power flow controllers, dynamic line rating systems, topology optimization systems, and steel-reinforced conductors. The independent organization may decline to recommend these technologies if deemed imprudent.
