TPPF’s Dr. Brent Bennett reacts to recent testimony in the Texas Senate concerning the reliability of the Texas electric grid. The hearing concerned SB 715, Bennett explains how SB 715 would protect Texas consumers by requiring ALL electricity generators to meet reliability standards – not just new ones built after 2027.
Without SB 715, Texas electricity prices will continue rising faster than neighboring states, with over 90 GW of existing wind and solar exempt from reliability standards by 2026.
