AI Summary

The Texas Public Utility Commission voted on Friday to adopt revised large‑load interconnection standards. The new rules drop the non‑refundable interconnection fee that had been proposed in March. Instead, the commission sets a flat study fee of $100,000 for all large‑load applicants, regardless of the size of the load. The decision also extends the deadlines for energization milestones that were originally part of the earlier proposal.
