Governor Greg Abbott has appointed Buc-ee's owner Arch “Beaver” Aplin to the new ERCOT Board Selection Committee.
The committee will be making recommendations on appointments to the grid regulator operating board.
Aplin has also been on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission since 2018, and was named chair of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission by Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this year on Wednesday, June 2.
So far, these slots have gone to major Republican donors. @DanPatrick tapped Brint Ryan as his appointment last month.
