According to officials, the City asks the PCUT to ensure the Governor’s directive extends beyond ERCOT by establishing a parallel process for non-ERCOT utilities, including El Paso Electric. The comments also note that El Paso is experiencing data center growth, with Project Jupiter and the Meta Data Center undergoing construction. The City stated in the comments that customers outside ERCOT, El Paso Electric customers, deserve the same protections being developed for the rest of the state. “We believe El Paso can lead in innovation while also protecting the people who live here. Apply the Governor’s principles in pending and future proceedings involving El Paso Electric.
