Texas SB2211 amends the definition of a qualifying cogenerator to include those serving large loads and colocated desalination facilities.

Texas SB2211 amends the Utilities Code to redefine a "qualifying cogenerator." This includes an owner or operator of dispatchable generation that provides thermal, steam, or waste heat for a colocated desalination facility and serves a load primarily for digital product manufacturing. The bill also specifies that such cogenerators are not considered retail electric utilities if they provide electricity to digital product manufacturers and thermal energy to desalination facilities.
