Relating to a qualifying cogenerator that serves a large load and a colocated desalination facility.

This bill clarifies that certain energy facilities (qualifying cogenerators) serving digital manufacturing and colocated desalination plants are not classified as retail electric utilities. Specifically, it amends Texas Utilities Code to define a "qualifying cogenerator" as including facilities providing thermal energy to a desalination plant and serving a digital manufacturing load. This exemption prevents these facilities from being regulated as retail electric utilities when selling electricity to the desalination plant and digital manufacturers. The change applies to new or existing facilities meeting the criteria, streamlining their regulatory status under Texas law.
