The electricity mix in Texas, managed by ERCOT, saw a noticeable change in 2023 with a slowdown in wind power installation and rapid growth in solar capacity. This shift is expected to reduce the use of natural gas generation during the day and in the summer, while natural gas will remain important for evening electricity generation.
The electricity mix of energy sources in Texas , managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas electricity grid operator, changed noticeably in 2023. Although wind power remains the largest source of renewable power in the state, the installation of new wind turbine capacity slowed in 2023, while additions of solar generating capacity, often co-located with storage, grew rapidly.
The maximum hourly average solar generation during the winter of 2022–23 was 2.1 gigawatthours and increased to 3.8 GWh in the winter of 2023–24. The maximum hourly average wind generation slightly increased during the same period from 15.1 GWh to 15.7 GWh. The maximum hourly average for all other fuels was 78.0 GWh in winter 2022–23 and increased to 88.6 GWh the next winter.
