HB 1343 mandates that electric energy storage facilities obtain a permit from the Public Utility Commission of Texas before installation. The bill requires facilities to be sited at a safe distance from other storage equipment and residential areas to mitigate fire risks. Applicants must notify local emergency responders, and the commission may hold public meetings to address community concerns. A permit fee is established to cover administrative costs​.
