Texas large-load framework

Grid and interconnection rules

PUCT-approved ERCOT rules establish modeling and interconnection requirements for large loads, including visibility standards beginning at 25 MW. The newer Batch Zero process studies qualified projects of 75 MW or more together and is now moving through applicant classification and transmission planning.

ERCOT large-load interconnection rules and Batch Zero

filed

Texas is using grid-modeling, interconnection, and transmission-study rules rather than one statewide retail large-load tariff. Retail contract protections therefore cannot be inferred from the ERCOT framework.

Open action

“Not specified” means the current official tariff record does not establish a normalized term. Retail tariff requirements are not inferred from wholesale-grid rules, interconnection processes, or pending policy proceedings.
