PUCT Large Load Demand Management docket adds a post-deadline supplemental comment
Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT, the state utility regulator) Project 58482 — Large Load Demand Management Service, the proposed new 16 Texas Administrative Code section 25.521 rule under which the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT, the grid operator for most of Texas) would competitively procure demand reductions from large-load customers for anticipated emergency conditions — moved from 63 filings as of the September 4 comment deadline to 64 after a September 6 Interchange stamp. Item 64 is a supplemental public comment from Jennifer Carrig titled as clarifying backup generation, battery energy storage system (BESS, grid-connected batteries), and duplicate-compensation concerns. Covered campus owners are not named as the filer. No new commission order, staff memo, or adoption calendar change appears in the Interchange index for this item.
Why it matters
The formal proposal-for-publication comment window closed September 4; a supplemental stamp after that date is a docket-status change for readers tracking how Large Load Demand Management Service rules may sit beside Senate Bill 6 curtailment and Batch Zero interconnection rules, but it is not itself a commission decision.

Risks
- A single supplemental public comment is advocacy, not a final commission order.
- Staff and commissioner treatment of late or supplemental comments is not specified in the Interchange index line.
- Timing from the closed comment window to adoption and ERCOT protocol implementation remains open.
