Texas Could See Clean Energy Overtake Fossil-Fuel Generation This Year

October 9, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Despite funding and proposed legislation meant to encourage the use of fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, for power generation in Texas, data from LSEG (London, England) suggest that clean energy sources could provide more power in the state this year than natural gas or coal. While for the first nine months of this year, coal and natural gas have provided more power, seasonal maintenance on fossil-fueled plants coupled with strong wind generation could result in clean power sources, including solar, wind and nuclear, providing more overall power for Texans than fossil fuels in 2025.
