Relating to electric grid resiliency measures, including a study by the Public Utility Commission of Texas of the cost of burying overhead power lines.
SB 2110 requires Texas' Public Utility Commission to study the costs of burying overhead power lines in coastal areas and statewide, with a report due by December 2026. It mandates electric utilities in coastal regions to replace all wooden poles by 2045, prioritizing areas within 10 miles of the coast and locations serving critical infrastructure. The bill also requires utilities to implement a vegetation management plan (clearing trees every three years near power lines) and submit annual reports on both pole replacement and vegetation activities. These provisions directly affect Texas electric utilities operating in coastal zones, focusing on grid resilience through infrastructure upgrades and maintenance.
