Entergy, SPS and TIEC have asked to dismiss their appeal of a PUC of Texas order negating an incumbent utility’s right-of-first-refusal.

Fast-moving Texas legislation that would give incumbent utilities the right of first refusal to build transmission projects is on the brink of passage.

The PUCT issued preliminary certificates of convenience and necessity for transmission that will integrate some of LP&L’s SPP load into the ERCOT system.

FERC approved SPP’s plan to streamline the process by which it designates frequently constrained areas, and it denied a complaint by NPPD.

Texas PUC Chair DeAnn Walker urged ERCOT to gain a “better sense” of the distributed resources and self-generation that could be affecting its system.

The Texas PUC quickly approved a second draft order of Southwestern Public Service’s (SPS) request for a certificate of convenience and necessary for its 478-MW wind farm.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas delayed its final approval of Southwestern Public Service’s request to build a 478-MW wind farm in West Texas.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved Southwestern Public Service Company’s (SPS) request to build a wind farm in Texas, clearing the way for a project that will provide renewable energy and economic benefits to SPS customers in the Lone Star State and New Mexico.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) pressed Southwestern Public Service for more details to justify its plan to build 1.23 GW of wind generation even though it doesn’t need the capacity.

Lubbock’s City Council and Electric Utility Board both approved a settlement agreement in the LP&L move from SPP to ERCOT.
