The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) announced that wind turbines in Texas broke an electricity generation record, on Wednesday, March 26. Wind turbines were producing 10,296 megawatts of electricity, or 29 percent of the total electricity generated in ERCOT,......In sum, ERCOT has 11,000 MW of installed commercial wind power – when the record was broken, 94 percent of the state’s total wind power capacity was being tapped.
Don’t expect that record to last for long. Just this week Vestas Wind Systems announced that it would provide 97 V100-2.0 MW wind turbines for Texas wind. This would add 194 MW of wind capacity to the Texas market. Vestas also announced that it would be providing turbines with a capacity of 98 MW to another North American wind project, though it declined to name the location or the developer.
This “hot streak” for Vestas, as the Denver Business Journal calls it, is indicative of an industry-wide growth. Citigroup declared that solar and wind are successfully “competing on costs” with fossil fuels in the U.S. In the analysis released last week, Citi says that industry leaders are focused on low-cost power and portfolio diversity, which increasingly leads them to invest in solar and wind energy infrastructure. “We predict that solar, wind, and biomass continue to gain market share” from more traditional forms of electricity generation, Citi analysts wrote.
