Abstract
Texas is among the states with the highest potential
for cogeneration. Currently, 3,121 MW of
cogenerated power supplies more than ten percent of
the energy needs of ERCOT under firm contracts.
This paper summarizes the key aspects of the
regulatory framework related to cogeneration in the
State of Texas. In addition, it discusses the current
round of standard avoided cost filings submitted to
the Public Utility Commission of Texas for approval
and focuses on future trends in the State's
cogeneration market.
