The Public Utility Commission of Texas is asking the public, members of industry, and stakeholders to provide input as the Commission develops a reliability standard for the ERCOT power region. SB 3 87(R) requires the PUCT to develop a reliability standard and increase the reliability of the ERCOT grid through both operational and economic improvements. PUCT staff filed a memo on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, detailing previous work the Commission has done to develop a standard and requesting public, industry and stakeholder input on the current development project, Project No. 54584.
The staff memo includes specific questions for respondents to address in their comments. Public comments can be filed through the Interchange Filing System on the PUCT website or by submitting a paper copy to Central Records, Public Utility Commission of Texas, 1701 North Congress Avenue, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326. Instructions for making a public filing with the PUCT are available here. All comments should reference Project No. 54584. Each set of comments should include a standalone executive summary as the last page of the filing. This executive summary should be clearly labeled with the submitting entity’s name and should list each recommendation made in the comments.
