=09Texas puts reliability  rules through paces
=09The Texas Public Utility  Commission (PUC) recently approved new reliabi=
lity=20
rules for the  state's main power grid. The goal was to scrutinize rules=20
governing  other deregulated markets to see how well they have worked and=
=20
then  find the best route for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas =20
(ERCOT).
