Texas electricity generation by type, 2001-2024
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Texas , sorted by type and name. In 2022, Texas had a total summer capacity of 148,900 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 525,562 GWh.[ 2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 51.1% natural gas, 22.2% wind, 13.2% coal, 7.5% nuclear, 5.1% solar, 0.4% other gases, 0.2% biomass, 0.2% hydroelectric and 0.1% other sources. Small-scale photovoltaic installations generated an additional 4,337 GWh to the Texas electrical grid in 2023.[ 1]
Texas produces and consumes far more electrical energy than any other U.S. state. It generates almost twice as much electricity as the next highest generating state, Florida. Texas has an expanding variety of generating sources to meet consumption growth. Installed wind capacity grew to 35,000 MW and solar capacity grew to 10,300 MW at the end of 2021.[ 3] Wind generation exceeded nuclear in 2014, and was near to surpassing coal in the number two position in 2019.[ 1] Fossil-fuel and nuclear generation has remained nearly constant over the past two decades, with natural gas gradually replacing coal.[ 1] [ 4]
Texas oil extraction operations in year 2019 included the flaring of 250 billion cubic feet of associated petroleum gas , with much of it concentrated in the Permian basin near Midland.[ 5] This amount of wasted natural gas could have met all of the state's residential heating and cooking needs,[ 6] [ 7] or could have generated an amount of electrical energy nearly equal to the state's 40,000 GWh of nuclear generation.[ 8] [ 9]
