Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter

Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter files at the Public Utility Commission of Texas on SB 6 rulemaking, intervening in large-load infrastructure cost-assignment proceedings for data-center campuses including Stargate Abilene. The chapter connects ERCOT grid reliability, ratepayer cost exposure, and emissions permitting in Taylor County into a unified public-interest challenge.

Sierra Club Lone Star’s PUCT Project 58481 intervention on Texas SB 6 rulemaking targets the mechanism that lets 75-megawatt loads connect to ERCOT with minimal public review and forces data-center cost assignment onto ratepayers rather than operators.
