Texas SB1641 regulates load forecasts for transmission planning in the ERCOT power region.
Texas SB1641 amends the Utilities Code to regulate load forecasts used in transmission planning for the ERCOT power region. The bill prohibits transmission or distribution service providers from including in their load forecasts any projected addition of retail demand of 25 megawatts or more unless certain conditions are met. Specifically, the provider must submit an attestation to the independent organization certified for the ERCOT power region, and the retail customer must demonstrate their likelihood to take electric service at the specified level, location, and date.
