Relating to the interconnection of wind or solar power facilities that use critical electric grid equipment purchased from certain companies.
This bill requires wind and solar power facilities to certify that purchases of critical grid equipment from designated companies (as defined in Texas law) won't grant those companies access to facility systems. It applies directly to renewable energy projects using such equipment and mandates written attestations before interconnection. The key mechanism requires facilities to confirm no unauthorized access will occur, excluding warranty support. This aligns with Texas laws restricting foreign entities from influencing critical infrastructure, as referenced in Chapter 117 of the Business & Commerce Code.
