Relating to the installation and repair of critical electric grid equipment purchased from certain companies and nonprofit organizations.

SB 934 prohibits the installation of new critical electric grid equipment or repairs (except in emergencies) after December 31, 2025, using equipment purchased from companies or nonprofits based in China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, or designated countries. It directly affects businesses operating in Texas’ ERCOT power grid that buy such equipment. The bill requires these businesses to report purchases to grid oversight organizations and confirm they won’t grant foreign entities access to grid systems beyond warranty support. The law amends Texas Utilities Code to enforce these restrictions, aiming to limit foreign influence on critical infrastructure.
