Texas HB5617 aims to support dispatchable electric generation using treated fluid oil and gas waste in high renewable energy areas.

Texas HB5617 amends the Texas Utilities Code to allow the Texas Energy Fund to support projects using treated fluid oil and gas waste for dispatchable electric generation. These projects must be in areas with significant renewable energy sources, which can challenge traditional power plants. The bill defines "treated fluid oil and gas waste" and "dispatchable electric generation." It mandates the Public Utility Commission of Texas to create guidelines for project eligibility and requires annual reviews.
