Relating to the interconnection or deployment of distributed generation by or for retail electric customers.

HB 3905 grants Texas retail electricity customers the right to install and deploy emergency backup power systems (such as solar generators or battery storage) on their property, provided they comply with Public Utility Commission and local building safety standards. This amendment to the Utilities Code explicitly adds this right to existing consumer protections for electricity users. The bill directly affects homeowners and businesses purchasing electricity, enabling them to use customer-owned generation during outages without utility interference. It does not change current billing requirements, service obligations, or existing utility regulations.
