The Texas power grid is more reliable than it’s ever been. Since 2021, the Public Utility Commission of Texas and ERCOT have implemented landmark grid reliability reforms passed by the Texas Legislature and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. These reforms have proven effective and ensured grid reliability during repeated periods of record demand. Commissioner Kathleen Jackson will talk about these reforms and the state’s infrastructure investment to ensure grid reliability, resiliency and affordability for Texans.
