These directives build upon the reforms passed in the 87th Legislative Session to increase power generation capacity and ensure the reliability of the Texas power grid. âThe objective of these directives is to ensure that all Texans have access to reliable, safe, and affordable power, and that this task is achieved in the quickest possible way," reads the letter. "Through clear communication, transparency, and implementation of these critical changes, the PUC and ERCOT can regain the publicâs trust, restore ERCOTâs status as a leader in innovation and reliability, and ensure Texans have the reliable electric power they expect and deserve."
