Energy storage helps reduce carbon emissions from electricity generation. Renewables positively impact the health of Texans by reducing air pollutants and costs related to poor air quality. Learn more about the reliability of Texas’ energy grid and other types of renewable energy

Like Texas highways, transmission infrastructure moves low-cost electricity from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. Investing in new transmission makes the energy system more reliable, affordable, and resilient—ensuring Texans have access to the energy they need.
