Texas has now “officially” exceeded the 10,000 MW of installed wind capacity threshold (with 10,030 MW) based on information on ERCOT’s Renewable Energy Credit (REC) Program website.
Texas has also exceeded the target for total installed renewable energy capacity of 10,000 MW by 2025 (with more than 10,350 MW of total installed capacity), achieving the milestone nearly 15 years before the aspirational milestone date established by the Texas Legislature in 2005.
This impressive achievement is a testament to the outstanding leadership, effective policies and positive business climate for clean energy in Texas.
Below is a snapshot of the Texas Renewable Energy Capacity in the Texas REC Program, as of earlier today (3/31/10).
