April 10,2019
A Texas Senate committee has reported favorably a substitute for SB 1941
The substitute would provide that, "[t]he commission [PUC} may not authorize ownership of an
electric energy storage facility by a transmission and distribution
utility."
The substitute would allow TDUs to contract with the owner of an electric storage facility for reliability purposes, subject to PUC approval, and subject to a total cap of 40 MW
