Texas Solar Power Growth Changing the Shape of Daily Electricity Supply in ERCOT

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.
