Texas set a new record for US wind energy generation late last week when at 6:37am on Friday morning wind turbines provided 19 per cent of the electricity mix – the equivalent of 6,272MW - to its main grid.
The figure, which did not include power generated in its windy Panhandle region, is expected to increase significantly in the coming years as the state plans to investnearly $5bn on increasing the number of transmission lines in the state supporting new wind farms.
