The House Committee on State Affairs has advanced Senate Bill 6, which now includes House Bill 3970, and is set to be discussed on the House floor later this week or early next. The bill passed with a vote of 11-1, with indications from committee members that further amendments may be introduced during the upcoming floor discussions. This development follows a meeting held at the Agriculture Museum, where discussions were not recorded or broadcasted.

In related news, the ERCOT Protocol Revision Subcommittee has passed NPRR 1282, despite objections from the Independent Market Monitor regarding the proposed state-of-charge requirements for battery operators. The Monitor argues that the current proposal could hinder competition and reliability in the ancillary service markets, suggesting that the duration requirements for Non-Spin Reserve Service should be adjusted to better align with system reliability. The ongoing discussions highlight the complexities of balancing energy storage requirements with market dynamics and consumer costs.
