Hunt Consolidated renewed its bid for Texas utility Oncor with a lawsuit alleging errors by the Texas PUC in an order on the deal.

The Texas PUC agreed with a recommendation by staff that it open a rulemaking proceeding to transfer some oversight of smart meter data to ERCOT.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas approved a plan for a hybrid above/below-ground transmission line in the City of Frisco.

ERCOT’s Technical Advisory Committee  continued the debate over who should be responsible for Texas’ largely unused smart meter monitoring website.

Xcel Energy (NYSE:XEL) has upped the ante in the Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) bid to disconnect from SPP and join ERCOT in 2019.

A short but expensive transmission line in Frisco, Texas, finally received state regulatory approval.

The Texas PUC unanimously agreed to deny all motions for rehearing in Hunt Consolidated’s proposed acquisition of Oncor.

CFTC said it is amending its order exempting RTOs from certain provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act to clarify that it does not bar private rights of action.

The PUCT agreed to wait until no later than June 10 before determining whether to grant a rehearing on its decision to allow Hunt’s acquisition of Oncor.

With its effort to convert its Oncor T&D utility into a REIT foundering, Energy Future Holdings filed a new bankruptcy plan.
