New price protections approved during power emergencies

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:23:12 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) voted Thursday to approve new price protections for consumers during power emergencies.The utility commission said the Emergency Pricing Program (EPP) would be for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) power region.“Implementing the Emergency Pricing Program provides another layer of financial protection for Texas consumers and will ensure their electricity bills remain affordable even when conditions are tight in the ERCOT system,” PUCT Executive Director Thomas Gleeson said. “This is a key part of our ongoing work to ensure electric reliability for Texans at a reasonable cost.”According to PUCT, current rules cap wholesale electricity offers at $5,000 per megawatt hour, or MWh.“The new EPP will trigger if system-wide energy prices hit the $5,000 per MWh HCAP threshold for 12 hours within a rolling 24-hour period. When the EPP is activated, a new emergency offer cap (ECAP) will take effect, reducing the cap o...

The Bulldogs were then picked to go to the Orange Bowl.The logic was Minnesota would climb a rung on the Big Ten’s ladder of bowl affiliations and might ...
