Relating to installation and operation of meter socket adapters for residential electric service customers.

This bill requires Texas electric utilities to permit residential customers to install meter socket adapters - devices that connect between a home's electric meter and socket to enable customer-owned technology like solar panels or smart devices - provided the adapters meet state standards. Utilities must approve or deny specific adapter models within 60 days of a request and publish all approved models online, with denials including written explanations. The bill sets standards based on national electrical codes, third-party testing lab approvals, and adapter compatibility with meter sockets. It directly affects residential electric customers seeking to install such technology and the state's electric utilities, which must comply with the new rules by September 1, 2025.
