AUSTIN – Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) President Todd Staples today issued the following statement on the Public Utility Commission’s (PUC) adoption of an proposed order to develop a electricity reliability plan for the Permian Basin:

“After a successful PUC workshop held in Midland earlier this week, the Commission adopted an proposed order for a electricity reliability plan for the Permian Basin with an updated timeline for ERCOT and stakeholders.

“We are grateful for the leadership of Commissioner Cobos as well as the support of Chair Jackson and Commissioners McAdams and Glotfelty. TXOGA remains committed to being an active stakeholder in the implementation of this vital plan to ensure the continued success of the Permian Basin in producing the irreplaceable oil and natural gas that make our modern lives possible.”
