What Texas power is made of

In plain words. Natural gas is the biggest source in Texas (48%), and the power made there is about as clean as the U.S. average per kWh. Plants with 4,831 MW are planned to retire by 2030. New plants with 23,086 MW are under construction.

In 2025 Texas plants of 1 MW or more made 601.0 TWh. The biggest sources: natural gas 48.3%, wind 21.6%, coal 11.5%. For comparison, natural gas makes 40.9% of U.S. generation. Wind, solar and hydro together: 32.8% (22.6% for the U.S.). Texas plants only; imports and rooftop solar are not counted.

Texas carbon per kWh

Texas plants emitted 768 lb of CO₂ per MWh in 2023 (0.348 kg per kWh), against 767 lb for the U.S. An average Texas home using 1,105 kWh a month accounts for about 385 kg of CO₂ a month at that rate. The rate is for Texas plants, not your supplier.
