5 years ago, Texas summer time demands were much lower than they are now. But the costs were higher. Now, power demand has strongly grown, and power prices are down.
What changed?
Solar and batteries.
Texas' economic growth is the envy of many.
Renewables are fueling it.

Solar and storage are flattening summer electricity prices in red and blue states alike.
This summer, wholesale prices fell by 42% in Texas and 51% in California compared to 5 years ago, even as demand surged and other costs pushed up residential bills.

Today, CEBA joined the @SEIA, @USCleanPower, @ACORE, and @AdvEnergyUnited in a letter to congressional leaders sharing the clean energy industry's strong support for the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA).
"Passing BAAJA is not only the biggest step we can take to improve energy affordability for all Americans, it is also an enormous opportunity for clean energy deployment to reduce emissions from the power sector," CEBA’s Vice President of Government Affairs @REnglandDC said. "Congress should take the deal on the table and pass it this year."

American Power Forward PAC is leaning into Georgia, where the PSC is the only elected utility commission this cycle with a real chance of flipping to a pro-clean energy, pro-consumer majority. More on the investment from @JulianSpector⬇️ canarymedia.com/articles/pol…

Trump’s former national security advisor makes a strong case for solar + storage:
“Gas turbines and other large power projects can take years to bring online. Solar and batteries can be deployed much faster, making them especially useful for meeting the near-term surge in electricity demand.” foxnews.com/opinion/ai-revol…

America needs more power, and we need it fast. Great conversation with @ScottJenningsKY on how solar and storage fit into an all-of-the-above strategy to lower costs, strengthen American manufacturing, and meet our growing energy needs.
Former Minnesota Gov. @TimPawlenty, now CEO of the @SEIA, joins Scott to break down the critical need for expanded U.S. power generation.

With demand for energy skyrocketing and an incredibly capable industry ready to deliver, what gets in the way? Too often, government.
Permitting reform means clear, durable rules that allow us to build more power and keep America growing.
Congress should seize this moment and get it done.

We're thrilled to share that SI2 was awarded a four year grant from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to train first responders, including fire departments on battery energy storage safety. Looking foward to working with our project partners @SEIA @massmunicipal and Code Red Consultants.

.@hughhewitt asks: Can solar help meet rising energy demand?
Resoundingly, yes. But that’s not all we can help with…
Solar and Storage Industry retweeted
At #NCEW26, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, President & CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (@SEIA), said we need to update how we talk about solar.
By his count, roughly 70% of all new incremental energy being added to the grid is solar and storage.
“No badmouthing other sources, but solar and storage can go from concept to grid in 24 months.”

“We need more supply... we need all of the above. We need everything.”
@SEIA prez @TimPawlenty is right on the simple, thorough approach to our growing energy needs: build infrastructure, keep all viable options on the table, including solar and storage.

At the GOP convention in Dallas, Texas is setting an example.
Their all-of-the-above approach to energy is delivering more supply and driving down prices. That’s what voters are looking to hear.
US states won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election accounted for 71% of the country’s solar capacity installed in the first half of the year, according to a report from an industry trade group bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

"Altogether, solar construction in Trump-supporting states has buoyed an ongoing explosion in national solar deployment. The country added more than 11 gigawatts of solar power in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 45 percent compared to the same period in 2025..."
Trump-supporting states are driving the solar boom even as Republican policies complicate its future. bit.ly/4xiPAy2
