Grid benefits by siting projects in specific locations Renewable portfolio standard compliance through increased energy generated from community solar projects (to do so, utilities
In 2022, solar energy contributed 19% of the state's utility-scale electricity net generation. When adding small-scale generation, solar energy accounted for 27% of the state's total electricity generation. The solar industry employs more than 78,000 throughout the state.
When adding small-scale generation, solar energy accounted for 27% of the state's total electricity generation. The solar industry employs more than 78,000 throughout the state. Texas has become one of the leading states in both solar energy potential and solar power generation.
In today's electricity generation system, diferent resources make diferent contributions to the electricity grid. This fact sheet illustrates the roles of distributed and centralized renewable energy technologies, particularly solar power, and how they will contribute to the future electricity system.
Currently, requirements for connecting distributed generation systems—like home renewable energy or wind systems—to the electricity grid vary widely.
