Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows the sources Texas relies on most to keep the lights on and how that breakdown has changed in the last two decades.
Wind power in Texas has been surging over the last decade, making up 22 percent of Texas’s electricity generation in 2022, a 250 percent jump from 2012. And last year, Texas produced more than twice the electricity from wind as the second highest wind-harnessing state: Iowa. Solar was the only utility-scale source of electricity generation to grow faster over the same time period, but it still remains small overall.than any other state this year, continuing a trend that has brought production from effectively zero in 2009 to 22,238,000 megawatt hours in 2022, enough to power roughly 1.2 million homes for a year and representing almost 5 percent of Texas’s power production.
In total, Texas produced more than twice as much utility-scale power in megawatt hours as any other state. Texas’s wind generation alone was just a touch higher than all of Arizona, and was more than half of all of California’s output as well.
