Relating to the prioritization of awarding grants and loans from the Texas Energy Fund for certain electric generating facilities.

HB 3676 requires the Texas Public Utility Commission to prioritize grant and loan applications from the Texas Energy Fund for electric power plants with a capacity of at least 750 megawatts. This policy directly affects large-scale power generation facilities seeking state funding for infrastructure projects. The bill mandates that the Commission give preference to these larger facilities when awarding funds under the Utilities Code. The rule applies only to applications submitted on or after September 1, 2025, and does not change existing funding criteria for smaller projects.
