The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved a plan to meet the future electricity needs of the Permian Basin Region.

The plan incorporates the transmission infrastructure needed to support the expansion and electrification of Texas’ oil and gas industry in West Texas. ERCOT forecasts that electricity demand in the region will grow to approximately 26 GW by 2038, which is equivalent to almost one third of the current summer demand of the entire ERCOT system.

“The Permian Basin is the heartbeat of our state and nation’s energy dominance and economy,” PUCT Commissioner Lori Cobos said. “This plan is a roadmap that will ensure electric reliability in the region for decades to come and facilitate critical transmission infrastructure investment that will ensure the continued success of Texas’ oil and gas industry and support the region’s local communities and our entire state.”
