Safe, clean and affordable energy is promoting the US economy towards a more prosperous future. Solar and wind production is making significant contributions to this growing prosperity. And in Texas, where everything is bigger, this is in a huge way. Solar and wind projects on the ground and in Texas pipes are generating large numbers in both GW and revenue.
Despite being famous as the concern of the traditional oil and gas industry of the United States, Texas is also home to the developing advanced energy market including solar and wind energy, self -producing gasoline. Of course and energy saving measures for manufacturers and owners.
New Tiaeba report: Advanced energy in Texas
Advanced energy in Texas, A new report from the study of Navigant by Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance (Taeba), measuring the explosive economic footprint of the advanced energy market in Lone Star state.
A series of advanced technologies, products and services, energy include electricity and solar power generation, natural gas production, energy efficiency and energy storage. Distinguish separately from conventional energy products, energy energy is described as the best technology available to cut costs and improve the reliability of both today's energy supply and tomorrow. .
Advanced energy in Texas Representing the first comprehensive research on the advanced energy market in Texas. With an estimated revenue of $ 16 billion for 2014, this figure accounted for 8 % of the US advanced energy market. It also represents enough money to buy Dallas Cowboys, the most valuable franchise in the National Football Federation, five times more.
The report provides large credit for advanced energy growth in Texas for businesses support, state's support attitude, combined with good design structures, including standards. Renewable energy and energy efficiency. Texas also has the country's most competitive and competitive energy resource market, managed by the Texas Electrical Reliability Council (ERCOT).
Advanced energy market in Texas
The new Teaba report emphasizes the scale of the advanced energy market in Texas, the main trend and the growth companies in every seven segments create advanced energy. The revenue of $ 16 billion last year was divided into different segments as follows:
• The efficiency segment of the building, including energy -saving lighting, HVAC and more for commercial and public buildings, is the largest in the Texas energy market and the revenue of 5 , 5 billion dollars.
• Electric production has produced $ 3.6 billion in revenue, 2.3 billion dollars of which come from the installation of wind energy.
• Producing scissors in $ 2.7 billion. Naturally compressed and liquefied gas for vehicles included in these.
• The traffic segment has increased by $ 2.3 billion in revenue. Hybrid electric vehicles, natural gas vehicles and supporting infrastructure to provide fuel for these vehicles are included.
• The segment of electricity management and distribution, with 1.2 billion dollars, is driven by the transmission projects needed to integrate more advanced energy into the transmission system.
• Providing fuel brings revenue of $ 25.8 million from natural gas stations.
The main trend in advanced energy
According to the new TEOBA report, Solar is located on the Texas Launch Pad, with 10 GW newly expected capacity by 2029. The wind energy is booming even bigger, with more than 14GW has been installed. Currently producing more than 10 percent of Texas power supply, adding 10 GW of wind power is also being supplied.
As noted above, energy efficiency has been very large in Texas, but there are still many rooms to improve. The report shows that effective measures account for a third of electricity production costs and note that there is still a great potential addition and the highest loading reduction. Efficiency and needs to meet the needs are important factors in helping to prevent power outage, as well as help customers save money.
Michele NogeGy, Vice President of the Southern region of Clearesult, an energy -efficient consulting company interviewed for the report, said energy efficiency is a powerful tool for economic growth and diversification. resources. Our research is as well as the Tiaeba report, showing great potential to help the utilities, businesses and personal texas save money and improve comfort by using wise energy into one into one one. How to live.
NGGGY continued, the Clear Clearesult was exploited into the Texas energy market, not only because we were based in Austin, because we have operated nearly 20,000 projects across the state since 2006 has brought about significant and encouraging effects. The appetite for energy efficiency is here.
Another big trend to see in advanced energy is to store energy. When technologies, strategies and reduce costs go into the near future, the Taeba's report predicts that advanced energy storage is currently at hand.
“Solar energy is taking off in Texas”
Jim Hughes, CEO of First Solar, a global supplier of photovoltaic solutions. Our Barilla solar project is the first solar factory in the country to supply electricity on the basis of open contracts and it illustrates how solar energy has become a reliable component, There is a competitive price in the state's balanced energy portfolio. We see a great opportunity for solar energy in Texas. First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) is a vertical solar supplier with more than 10 GW of power installed worldwide. Along with the Barilla power plant, First Solar has a number of other projects in different development stages in Texas.
Susan Reilly, president of the American Wind Energy Association, said the advanced and good energy at Texas Res Americas and many of its Texas projects were described in the Tianeba report. Texas Texas is the national leader of wind energy, today and progress – just look at what is in the pipe. Res Americaas is proud of the installation of the wind and solar energy we have worked in Texas and we want more in the future.
RES Americic is an energy developer, transmitting and storing renewable energy. Its projects in Texas totaled nearly 2,500 MW, including the King Mountain Mountain Rank of 278 MW, 60 MW Wind Energy Center and 166 MW Hackberry Wind Farm. Res Americas is also a contractor for 30 MW Webberville and 41 MW Alamo 1 projects. Nearly completed is the Keepi wind project, owned by Enbridge Inc., which will provide energy for Microsoft Corp near close Dallas-Fort Worth.
TEXAS energy business alliance
The Texas Texas energy business alliance includes local and national advanced energy companies that make efforts to make Texas's energy, safer, cleaner, reliable and more affordable. . Tianba's stated task is to raise the awareness of policy makers and the public about the opportunity provided by all advanced forms of energy to save costs, reliability and abilities. Recovery of electrical systems, and economic growth in Texas state.
