Texas Pushes Transmission Decision

摘要

Already playing host to more wind generation than any other place in the United States, Texas is now grappling with how to get it to customers. And because it does not have enough transmission in the right places, wind project deployment in the state appears to be slowing. In October, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) urged a consortium of eight transmission companies to come to terms and decide who will do what and where with regard to building new transmission. The PUC set a hearing date in December and put pressure on parties to reach agreement before then.
