(o) Distributed natural gas generation facility. This
subsection, as well as the other subsections of this section, apply
to a distributed natural gas generation facility. This subsection
does not require an electric cooperative to transmit electricity to
a retail point of delivery in the certificated area of the electric
cooperative if the electric cooperative has not adopted customer choice.
If there is a conflict between this subsection and another subsection
of this section, this subsection controls.
(1) Transmission.
(A) Electric utilities. At the request of the owner
or operator of a distributed natural gas generation facility, an electric
utility shall allow the owner or operator of the facility to interconnect
with and use transmission and distribution facilities to transmit
electricity to another entity that is acceptable to the owner or operator
in accordance with this section and the commission’s rules for
open-access comparable transmission service for electric utilities
in ERCOT, §§25.191 - 25.203 of this title, or a tariff approved
by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
(B) Electric cooperatives. At the request of the owner
or operator of a distributed natural gas generation facility, an electric
cooperative shall allow the owner or operator of the facility to use
transmission and distribution facilities to transmit the electric
power to another entity that is acceptable to the owner or operator
in accordance with the commission’s rules for open-access comparable
transmission service for electric utilities in ERCOT, §§25.191
- 25.203 of this title, or a tariff approved by FERC.
(2) Interconnection Disputes. If an electric utility
or electric cooperative seeks to recover from the owner or operator
of a distributed natural gas generation facility an amount that exceeds
the amount in the estimate provided under PURA §35.036(e) by
more than 5%, the commission shall resolve the dispute at the request
of the owner or operator of the facility.
