  “SECTION A1. AASection 35.004, Utilities Code, is amended by adding Subsections (c-1) and (c-2) to read as follows: (c-1) AAThe commission by rule shall ensure that a large load customer who is subject to the standards adopted under Section 37.0561 contributes to the recovery of the interconnecting electric utility ’s costs to interconnect the large load to the utility ’s system. (c-2) AAAn electric cooperative or municipally owned utility that has not adopted customer choice shall pass through to a large load customer who is subject to the standards adopted under Section 37.0561 the reasonable costs to interconnect the large load in a manner determined by the electric cooperative or municipally owned utility.”

  “(c) AA The standards must apply only to customers requesting a new or expanded interconnection where the total load at a single site would exceed a demand threshold established by the commission based on the size of loads that significantly impact transmission needs in the ERCOT power region. The commission shall establish a demand threshold of 75 megawatts unless the commission determines that a lower threshold is necessary to accomplish the purposes described by Subsection (b).”

  “(e) AA The standards must require each interconnected large load customer subject to Subsection (c) to disclose to the interconnecting electric utility or municipally owned utility information about the customer ’s on-site backup generating facilities and require the interconnecting electric utility or municipally owned utility to provide the information to the independent organization certified under Section 39.151 for the ERCOT power region. For the purposes of this subsection, "on-site backup generating facilities" means generation that is not capable of exporting energy to the ERCOT transmission grid and that, in the aggregate, can serve at least 50 percent of on-site demand. The independent organization shall establish a threshold before or during an energy emergency alert at which the organization may issue reasonable notice that large load customers with on-site backup generating facilities may be directed to either deploy the customer ’s on-site backup generating facilities or curtail load. After the independent organization deploys all available market services, except for frequency responsive services, the independent organization may direct the applicable electric utility or municipally owned utility to require the large load customer to either deploy the customer ’s on-site backup generating facilities or curtail load. The independent organization shall include a deployment under this section as firm load shed when calculating any price adjustments for reliability deployments.”
