PUCT Project 58000, rulemaking to update ERCOT transmission cost recovery, comment deadline reached
The Public Utility Commission of Texas is amending its wholesale and investor owned utility retail transmission cost recovery rules for the ERCOT region. The commission published a proposal for publication amending Section 25.192 and Section 25.193 and set a comment deadline of August 11th, 2026. Utilities and data center developers filed comments on the deadline date. So did consumer advocates and ERCOT itself. The commission next considers the proposal at an open meeting before adopting a final rule.
How to take part
Comments are filed in the PUCT Interchange under control number 58000. The comment deadline stated in the record has now been reached, so the remaining public access is the open meeting at which commissioners consider the proposal. Open meetings are held in Commissioners Hearing Room 7-100 and are listed as open to the public on the PUCT calendar feed.
