Analysis: Developers study 5.3GW of solar in Texas
Houston , 13 February (Argus) — Solar generation under study by developers in Texas has doubled in the past year, spurred by more-favorable project economics and the risk of less-favorable federal and state incentives.
At 5,300MW, solar projects represent less than 9pc of the total 62,000MW in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) interconnection queue.
Even so, interest in solar has “increased dramatically over the last year,” Texas grid president Trip Doggett told state legislators last month.
