Texas PUC Staff have issued a discussion draft of proposed rule changes relating to transmission rate setting in advance of a November 16 workshop in Project 46393
The discussion draft includes more specific language with regards to determination of the 4CP used to determine transmission rates
The discussion draft would also exclude wholesale storage load from being subject to rates under transmission tariffs, and would provide that, unless otherwise ordered by the PUC, energy storage facilities shall not be considered transmission facilities
The discussion draft would also address treatment of entities exporting power from ERCOT as its relates to transmission charges
