Texas SB1942 amends the Utilities Code to establish a reliability program for large loads.

Texas SB1942 amends the Utilities Code by adding Section 39.169, which mandates the development of a reliability program for large loads. This program, to be overseen by an independent organization certified for the ERCOT power region, aims to expedite the interconnection process for large loads that commit to reducing their energy consumption from the power grid through their behind-the-meter generation when directed. The program is exclusive to large loads with a peak power demand exceeding 75 megawatts, unless the independent organization sets a lower threshold for reliability.
