In response to a recent directive, energy agencies in Texas are seeking additional powers. They want lawmakers to give them more control. This move comes as the agencies claim to have already implemented measures to oversee big energy users in the state.

Further information on this development is available from Houston Public Media. Details about the directive and the agencies' actions are limited, but it is known that they are calling for expanded authority. The agencies involved are ERCOT and the PUCT, and they are looking to the state legislature for action.
