Many thanks to Chairman Darby for carrying SB 1036 in the House. Proud to have worked on the bill & strongly support it. Time to clean out bad actors, build trust, grow resi solar with transparent transactions & responsible companies. #txenergy #txsolar

Through April 2025, solar power has provided 12% of ERCOT’s electricity, up 49% from Jan-April 2024. Predictable & increasingly paired with dispatchable battery storage to meet growing demand, increase reliability, and help to lower wholesale power costs. #txenergy #txsolar

These bills were two of our priority bills this session and I am thrilled they are across the finish line. Consumer and community has been a focus of TSSA this session and I deeply appreciate the work of the members and staff involved on 1036 and 1202. #txenergy

Another TX session is behind us and I am proud of TSSA’s work. The continued growth of solar+storage will benefit the grid, consumers, landowners & the economy. #txenergy #txsolar #txbess

Solar power provided 16% of ERCOT’s electricity in May, a new record. 58% increase in solar output compared to May 2024. Solar has provided 13% of ERCOT’s power on the year. Solar is increasing grid reliability & affordability, especially when paired w/BESS. #txsolar #txenergy

Excited about T1’s presence in TX. Texas workforce making clean energy products for the TX grid and TX consumers. A new flavor of economic development and community benefit from the solar power industry. #txsolar #txenergy

Yes. A massive strategic error is being made right now to damage solar/battery that will leave America extremely vulnerable in the future.

Solar+storage is meeting load growth and driving reliability & affordability in Texas. From a grid and economic perspective, it would be a serious mistake to derail these technologies. #txenergy

Yesterday, ERCOT set a new solar generation record of 29,337 MW, passing the wind generation record of 28,550 MW for the first time ever. ERCOT also set a new energy storage record with 6,769 MW discharging at 8:39 p.m. as solar generation declined. View the different types of

Through July, solar power has provided 14% of Texas’s electricity. July 2024 to July 2025, solar production increased by 40%. Predictable, affordable power that is increasing grid reliability, especially when paired with the expanding portfolio of flexible, dispatchable BESS.

Congrats to Longview ISD on their new solar projects! The district will save $18.6 million in electricity bills, which will allow more money to be spent on students. DER projects like these also contribute to grid reliability. Win-win. kltv.com/2025/08/12/lon…

The Raines family had grown cotton for four generations, but it was becoming less and less profitable. So Chad pivoted and now grazes 6,000 sheep at a solar farm near Waco. He has now established a successful business that he will hand down to his kids. cbsnews.com/amp/news/solar…

New battery storage record! Batteries stored up power from solar during the day yesterday and discharged 7,348 MW last night. Excited to keep breaking records as our members bring more capacity online.

Solar power in TX uses ~192,000 acres. This is .11% of TX. Assuming all solar was placed on Working Lands, which it is not, it’s .13%. For solar to take up 1% of TX lands, installed capacity would need to increase 790%.

Agreed. Fastest to market. Deployable at any scale anywhere in Texas, from rooftop solar to utility-scale. Predictable and pairs nicely with energy storage to further drive reliability and affordability. And creates economic benefits for landowners and communities.
