Relating to certain distributed electricity resources.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 3624 would allow an owner or operator of distributed renewable generation or distributed energy storage device that is installed on the retail electric customer’s side of the meter to sell their electricity at wholesale prices consistent with the law. The owner or operator would not be required to register as a power generation company. This bill would allow an electric utility to allow an owner or operator to use an owner-supplied, UL-certified device designed to isolate and disconnect household loads on the retail electric customer’s side of the meter.
Texas Action supports HB 3624 as this bill supports free markets and individual liberty by allowing freedom to sell energy generated by devices like solar panels at wholesale prices.
