Texas HB838 regulates the interconnection of ERCOT power grid facilities with grids outside the ERCOT power region.
Texas HB838 amends the Utilities Code to establish rules for the interconnection of ERCOT power grid facilities with grids outside the ERCOT power region. The bill requires transmission and distribution utilities, municipally owned utilities, or electric cooperatives to obtain a certificate from the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) before interconnecting facilities. The PUCT must approve the interconnection unless it poses a significant and imminent risk to public health and safety.
