thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4572406-wind-solar-power-generation-texas-california-dominated-2023-report/
Quick Glance: Texas and California Lead Wind and Solar Power Generation in 2023
- States like Texas and Oklahoma, known for their oil production, dominated wind energy generation in the U.S. in 2023. Texas also stood out as a top state in solar energy generation, according to a report from Climate Central.
- Solar power production in the U.S. reached nearly 240,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) last year, marking an eightfold increase from 2014. California led in solar generation with just under 69,000 GWh, followed by Texas with over 31,700 GWh.
- The wind power sector saw an estimated 425,000 GWh in electricity production from wind energy. Texas led the way in wind power generation, followed by Iowa, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
- Wind and solar together generated sufficient power last year to meet the energy needs of 61 million American households, as per the report. The Energy Department foresees solar and wind energy surpassing coal-fired electricity generation this year.
