Solar to Surpass Coal in Texas Power Generation in 2026, EIA Says
The US Energy Information Administration projects that solar power will generate more electricity than coal in Texas in 2026, marking a historic shift in the state's energy mix. Texas, the leading US energy producer, has seen rapid solar capacity growth alongside declining coal generation. The projection highlights the accelerating pace of the energy transition in a state long defined by oil and gas.
Why now: A major energy state's power mix shifting from coal to solar has significant implications for the US energy transition.
