What is Texas’ $4.3 billion electricity tax?

This tax is a result of a series of 2019 decisions by commissioners at the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).

The specific PUCT action was:

• the adoption of the Operating Reserve Demand Curve

What’s the sticking point for opponents?

• That the ORDC sends its revenue to electric generators at the cost of ratepayers
• That the ORDC is on top of subsidies for renewables
