Texas SB1519 requires a permit for installing electric energy storage equipment or facilities in the ERCOT power region.

Texas SB1519 amends the Utilities Code to mandate a permit for installing electric energy storage equipment or facilities intended for selling energy or ancillary services at wholesale. The Public Utility Commission of Texas must approve the permit if it does not violate state or federal law and if the installation location complies with rules. The permit process includes public meetings and a fee to cover implementation costs. The permit requirement applies only to equipment or facilities interconnected to a transmission facility on or after the effective date of the Act.
