Relating to the issuance of a certificate of convenience or necessity for a facility to import or export power into or out of the ERCOT power region.

This bill prohibits Texas utility regulators from issuing certificates for electricity transmission facilities that would enable power imports into or exports out of the ERCOT grid if such facilities would fall under federal FERC jurisdiction. It directly affects energy companies seeking to build transmission infrastructure connecting Texas to external power grids. The key provision amends state law to block these certificates, ensuring ERCOT remains outside federal regulatory oversight. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
