Relating to the interconnection of a facility in the ERCOT power region to certain other facilities

Passed 20–11Party-line

What it does: Bars utilities and others from connecting the state's main power grid to out-of-state facilities unless the connection would not add federal control over the grid and state regulators first find it in the public interest and later approve a certificate.
