Staff Files Proposed Rule Re: Retail Market Performance Measure Reporting

Dockets: 56736

Staff of the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) filed a proposal for publication for the Commission’s consideration at the November 6,2025, Open Meeting regarding review of 25.88, relating to Retail Market Performance Measure Reporting.  This proposed rule is intended to implement PURA §39.168 as enacted by HB 1500 § 24 during the Texas 88th Regular Legislative Session. 

The proposed rule streamlines the reporting of competitive retail market data to the commission by REPs, ERCOT, and TDUs. “Specifically, it mandates that data provided by REPs and ERCOT be reported according to customer classifications defined in 16 TAC § 25.43, thereby standardizing reporting practices across reporting entities. Further, the amended rule reduces redundant data submission requirements for certain entities.”

Interested persons may file comments electronically through the interchange on the commission’s 72 website. Comments must be filed by November 28,2025.

“To assist the commission in its continued monitoring of the performance of the retail market, commission Staff requests responses to the following questions: 

  1. Are the Retail Market Performance Measures, and their associated schedule parts, provided by the commission in the filing package sufficient to monitor the competitive Texas retail electricity market? If not, what else should the commission consider in its Retail Performance Measures? 
  2. What else should the commission consider in its implementation of PURA §39.168 and its amendment to §25.88?”

See link below for full details of proposed reporting requirements.
