In this edition:

  • Senate Bill 6, the large load bill, passes the House with a key section deleted and an additional bill added by floor amendment;

  • Senate amends and passes House Bill 3556, the bill to increase regulation of coastal wind projects;

  • Senate committee advances a much slimmer version of the House’s nuclear bill, HB 14;

  • Key House deadlines passed without movement for anti-energy bills, but with six days remaining (June 2 is the final day), it’s too early for any sort of assessment on the energy legacy of this legislature; and

  • ERCOT’s Technical Advisory Committee to consider ancillary service duration, Aggregated Distributed Energy Resource pilot expansion, and large loads tomorrow (5/28).

This and all the rest of the Grid Roundups, the full article archives, select Energy Capital Podcasts, including this one with John Arnold, and more are for paid subscribers only. If you aren’t yet a paid subscriber, please become one today.
