Why Texas is Breaking Energy Storage
The Key Drivers Behind Energy Storage Growth In 2024, Texas
As the Texas economy and population continues to grow, electricity consumption has also increased in the energy capital. New solar and storage will be needed for an “all of the above” strategy to meet the state's energy demand.
Last year, solar and battery storage installation led capacity growth within Texas' electric grid, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published in January. Texas added nearly 1,500 megawatts of battery storage to the grid's summer rated capacities in 2023.
Texas has become one of the nation's frontrunners in developing renewable energy. In recent years, the state's reign came from wind power coupled with utility-scale solar.
