Solar is starting to sunset use of natural gas in Texas

Solar generation has increased significantly over a year for Texas. In winter 2022-23, peak generation was 2.1 GWh, and in 2023-24, it reached 3.8 GWh, said the EIA. Wind production remained relatively flat, though it remains a larger source of electricity than solar on the ERCOT grid. In the summer of 2022, the maximum hourly average solar generation was 3.9 GWh and increased to 5.3 GWh in the summer of 2023.

Solar generation increased 35% year over year in the state, and 16 GW of solar was added in 2023 alone. Developers are expected to add another 24 GW in 2024 and 2025, while wind power is expected to increase by 3 GW of capacity.
