Texas, known as the nation’s leader in oil production, is rapidly transforming into a front-runner in solar energy as well. The state has witnessed a remarkable growth in solar power generation, with the amount of solar energy produced doubling since the beginning of last year.
Projections indicate that this upward trajectory will continue, with solar power generation set to double once again by the end of next year. This surge in renewable energy comes at a critical time as Texas faces an escalating demand for electricity, prompting calls for energy conservation.
“[The Electric Reliability Council of Texas] (ERCOT) requests Texans to voluntarily conserve power during specific conservation period, if safe to do so,” ERCOT wrote on its website. “ERCOT requests all government agencies (including city and county offices) to implement any and all programs to reduce energy use at their facilities.”
[That sounds like it’s working out GREAT! If you aren’t aware, or hadn’t had a chance to read my post on it, guess what solar panels DON’T work well in, and by “don’t” I mean their efficiency at producing power tanks right when it’s most needed? If you said “the sun/excessive heat,” you WIN A DONUT! ~ Beege]
