Solar power in Texas

Solar array in Austin[1]

Solar power in Texas, a portion of total energy in Texas, includes utility-scale solar power plants as well as local distributed generation, mostly from rooftop photovoltaics. The western portion of the state especially has abundant open land areas, with some of the greatest solar and wind potential in the country.[2][3] Development activities there are also encouraged by relatively simple permitting and significant available transmission capacity.[4][5]
