GCPA: From Rulemaking to Reality: What the 90th Legislature Should Do About Cost Allocation
September 28, 2026
O’Melveny partner Katie Coleman will be a guest speaker at the GCPA’s pre-conference workshop covering transmission cost allocation in ERCOT. Coleman’s panel will examine the key questions still at issue as the rulemaking remains open. Featuring a legislator or senior staffer, a PUCT representative, a generator making real capital decisions based on cost-allocation signals, and a consumer or co-op voice, the discussion will focus on what the 90th Legislature should codify in statute, what should remain within the regulator’s discretion, and what kind of framework is most likely to withstand the political process heading into 2027.
Katie Coleman is recognized for her deep knowledge of the Texas electricity market, advising businesses on regulatory compliance, energy transactions, and the development of new facilities. She helps clients navigate wholesale market participation, energy supply arrangements, and cost management strategies.
