Senate Bill 6 established the Texas Energy Insurance Program, and creates funding mechanisms for future construction of electricity-generating facilities. Senate Bill 7 establishes guidelines for annual reporting of costs and legislative needs to reliably run the ERCOT power grid. Sen. Schwertner said SB 6 guarantees steel in the ground, and zero-percent interest loans for dispatchable generators. He also said SB 7 brings "balance, and ensures equal contributions to reliability."
