Texas Senate Bill 6, effective immediately, reallocates energy management costs to large-load customers in the ERCOT region, specifically targeting facilities like data centers that connect after December 31, 2025. These customers will be responsible for grid-connection costs, including a minimum $100,000 fee for transmission studies, and must demonstrate site control and financial commitment in their interconnection applications. The legislation aims to manage increasing power demands while protecting residential ratepayers from additional costs.
