Power Generation

Energy is the most important area of the economy in Texas. Texas produces and consumes the most electricity. The state has an abundance of almost every source for generating electricity - gas, oil, solar, wind, and others. Total electricity generation in Texas is over 483 gigawatts. Most of the electricity generated (52.1%) comes from natural gas. In second place is wind power, almost 20%. Texas also has coal-fired and nuclear power plants.

Transmission Grid

Texas is a unique state, the only one with its own electrical grid: Texas Interconnection. This electrical grid covers 213 of the 254 Texas counties and is managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Ninety percent of electricity needs are supplied through this electric grid. Texas Interconnection is connected to other electric distribution grids: Eastern Interconnection and North American Electric Reliability Corporation.

Renewable Sources

Renewable energy is important to Texans. Thirty percent of all wind power generated in the U.S. is generated in Texas. Forty wind farms make up a single complex that produces 30 megawatts of electricity. The electricity generated from wind power is used by local farmers, businesses, and Texans. The Texas climate is also favorable for solar power, with solar plants and panels generating more than 8 megawatts of electricity.

Electricity Rates

Because Texas has a lot of excess electricity generation capacity and many power companies supplying electricity, electricity prices are relatively low. The average price of electricity for businesses is 0.38 ¢/kWh, and for Texans it is 12.81 ¢/kWh, significantly lower than in other states. Texas residents have a wide variety of electric companies to connect to and get electricity at an affordable price.
