House Bill 5323 amends the Public Utility Regulatory Act, Utilities Code, to create the Texas Energy Waste Advisory Committee to make recommendations for coordinating and improving state agency and interagency programs that reduce energy waste, increase energy efficiency, and enhance demand response programs in order to increase reliability of electric service in the ERCOT power region. To improve that reliability, the committee must solicit information from and make recommendations to certain state agencies and organizations regarding state programs that have the potential to reduce demand for electricity in the ERCOT wholesale market during high risk hours identified by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
