Solar to Overtake Coal in Texas by 2026, EIA Says
Original: Solar to Surpass Coal in Texas Power Generation in 2026, EIA Says
The US Energy Information Administration projects that solar power generation in Texas will surpass coal in 2026, marking a milestone in the state's energy transition. Texas, already the leading US state for both wind and utility-scale solar additions, is expected to see coal's share of its electricity mix fall further as new solar capacity comes online and coal plants continue retiring.
Why now: The federal forecast signals a historic shift in the power mix of America's largest energy-producing state.
