Bill Analysis

HB 1572 would establish that an "Electric generation equipment lessor or operator" is not considered an "Electric utility" or a "retail electric utility". An "Electric generation equipment lessor or operator" means a person who rents to or operates for compensation on behalf of a third party electric generation equipment that is used on a site of the third party where the third party is unable to obtain sufficient electricity service; produces electricity on site to be consumed by the third party and not resold; and does not interconnect with the electric transmission or distribution system.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action Remains neutral on HB 1572 as this bill does not impact our liberty principles.
