Texas SB2110 mandates electric grid resiliency measures, including a study on burying overhead power lines and replacing wooden poles.

Texas SB2110 focuses on enhancing electric grid resiliency through several measures. The Public Utility Commission of Texas is tasked with evaluating the costs of burying existing overhead power lines, particularly in seacoast territory and statewide. Electric utilities must replace all wooden transmission or distribution poles in seacoast territory by January 1, 2045, and submit a replacement plan by September 1, 2026. Additionally, utilities must establish procedures for customers to request vegetation management services and ensure these requests are fulfilled within 30 days.
