🚨 Major Changes to Texas Transmission and Energy Regulations – Is Your Project Ready?

Texas is undergoing a historic transformation in how it plans, funds, and builds transmission infrastructure and supports large-scale energy users. With the passage of HB 5066 and SB 6, the state is investing in new 765-kV transmission corridors and holding data centers, crypto operations, and industrial users accountable for interconnection impacts.

🔌 What This Means for You:

  • New PUC-mandated 765-kV lines (Big Hill to Sand Lake and beyond)
  • Required interconnection studies, site control, and environmental due diligence for large loads ≥75 MW
  • Emerging curtailment, backup power, and co-location permitting needs

At ESE Partners, we help transmission developers, utilities, and major energy users navigate the environmental, regulatory, and stakeholder complexities tied to these evolving requirements.
