Project #29855
This project has been closed.
Summary
Amendment to §25.362 - The proposed amendment will require ERCOT to immediately report to the commission any event or situation that could reasonably be anticipated to adversely affect the reliability of the regional electric network; the accounting procedures applicable to ERCOT or the ERCOT market; ERCOT's performance of activities related to the customer registration function; or the public's confidence in the ERCOT market or in ERCOT's performance of its duties. The proposed amendment will enhance the commission's ability to execute its statutory duties in overseeing the operations of ERCOT.
Amendment to §22.252 - The proposed amendment would delete a provision that allows a rate change to become effective on an interim basis if the commission has not ruled on the requested change within 120 days. The proposed amendment would eliminate the existing presumption that a rate change may become effective without prior commission review and approval. The proposed amendment would also create a new presumption that, unless the commissions acts within 120 days, the application for a fee increase will be deemed denied.
