"A detailed examination of the Texas wholesale electricity market showed wind
and solar power generation saved the state approximately $11 billion in 2022.
This figure marks a nearly 300% increase from previous years. From 2010 to the
end of 2022, wind and solar generation produced $31.5 billion in wholesale
electricity savings, benefiting all Texas households.

This value is only expected to grow as wind and solar capacity fill the state’s
power grid queue.

The report, led by Dr. Joshua Rhodes and produced by Ideasmiths, projects that
expanding wind and solar capacity could save Texans between $6.1 billion and
$15.2 billion per yeary, even as the state’s politicians fight tooth and nail
against wind and solar project development."
