Getting companies to build new power plants in Texas hinges on redesigning how power companies buy and sell electricity. The proposal being reviewed by the PUC is called Performance Credit Mechanism.

On Monday, the House State Affairs committee came during an update on a proposed market redesign for the power grid by Public Utility Commission Chairman Peter Lake.Shortly after making that promise, Lake was pressed by Corpus Christi republican Todd Hunter. He wanted to know about an important piece of the redesign.Lake answered simply by saying, "Yes sir.

"This is not just some payment for sitting on the sideline or some extra revenue stream that you happen to get, assigned as some kind of bureaucratic exercise, this is a market driven performance based incentive to bring more reliable generation to ERCOT," said Lake. The PUC plan, if approved by state lawmakers is not expected to start until 2026. Hirs warned that’s a long time, especially for companies that have old coal and gas power plants.

It’s estimated the PUC plan will cost consumers $460 million a year. The message for consumers, according to Hirs, does not have a lot of options.
