PUCT Approves Revised Market Performance Measure Reporting
45-Day Compliance Window Adopted
On March the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUC) issued an order repealing 16 TAC §25.88 and adopting new §25.88.
“The Public Utility Commission of Texas (commission) repeals 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §25.88, relating to Retail Market Performance Measure Reporting, and adopts new 16 TAC §25.88, relating to Retail Market Performance Measure Reporting. The adopted rule will implement Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA) §39.168 as enacted by HB 1500 §24 during the Texas 88th Regular Legislative Session. Additionally, the adopted rule streamlines the reporting of competitive retail market data to the commission by Retail Electric Providers (REPs), Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and Transmission and Distribution Utilities (TDUs); thereby standardizing reporting practices across reporting entities. Further, the adopted rule reduces redundant data submission requirements for certain entities. The commission adopts this rule with changes to the proposed text as published in the November 21 , 2025 , issue of the Texas Register ( 50 TexReg 7497 ). This rule will be republished.”
The Commission agrees with the proposed §25.88(b)(2) – filing deadline
“The commission agrees with TEAM, the Coalition, and Vistra that a 30-day deadline could create unnecessary regulatory burden. As such, the commission modifies proposed subsection (b)(2) to increase the reporting deadline to 45 days.”
