SB 6 Implementation Kickoff Workshop

As reported previously SB 6, an act relating to electricity planning and infrastructure costs for large loads was signed by the Governor on June 20, 2025 and became effectively immediately.  

Text of the law can be found here.

Among other things SB6 requires the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) to evaluate whether the existing methodology used to charge wholesale transmission costs to distribution providers under Section 35.004(d), Utilities Code, continues to appropriately assign costs for transmission investment.
