The dynamic Texas economy and its growing population require increases in electric generation and transmission capacity well beyond what was expected even a few years ago.

If not addressed, general unreliability in the Texas electric grid and the resulting inadequate power supplies could constrain economic growth. The risk of inadequate power could become a barrier to entry and expansion for companies looking to establish a presence in the state, and existing businesses cannot function optimally with insufficient electricity.

Texas is seeing ongoing population expansion and has enormous growth potential in both traditional industries and emerging sectors that require significant and reliable electricity supplies. This potential can only be achieved if the necessary supporting resources are available. Transmission capacity is crucial to ongoing prosperity.
