HRES 1064 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the role and responsibilities of Texas operating the Electric Reliability Council of Texas and condemning any action to federalize the Texas electricity markets.

HRES 1064 is a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives recognizing that Texas operates its own electricity grid through the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which serves over 26 million Texans and manages 52,700 miles of transmission lines. The resolution explicitly condemns any congressional or federal government action attempting to "federalize" Texas' electricity markets, which operate under the Texas Public Utility Commission and state legislature. It emphasizes that ERCOT is not subject to federal jurisdiction and rejects efforts to force connections to neighboring grids, as seen in previous legislative proposals. This resolution does not change laws but formally states the House's position supporting Texas' control over its energy system.
