This summer, Texas needs every available megawatt to power our grid and renewable energy generation continues to reach new heights in ERCOT, providing us with reliable, affordable power.

On June 17th, ERCOT hit a new wind generation record with 27,849 MW generated across the state. The following day, wind generated 27,202 MW of energy for the Texas grid, coming in at #3 for all-time wind generation.

On June 18th, ERCOT hit a new renewable generation record with 37,946 MW generated across the state.

On June 22nd, ERCOT hit a new solar generation record with 19,287 MW generated across the state.

Battery energy storage also continues to break records when the grid needs it most, such as last month during the May 8th Weather Watch issued by ERCOT when a record 3,195 MW of energy from batteries was utilized to fill the gaps brought on by traditional power plant outages that were higher than expected.
