High-voltage substation construction and transformer work across Texas. Here is the grid ESS operates in.
Texas produces more electricity than any other state, and natural gas is the largest single source at roughly 45 percent of net generation. Wind supplies about 20 percent and utility-scale solar has grown to around 10 percent, with nuclear generation from the Comanche Peak and South Texas Project stations and a declining coal fleet covering most of the remainder. Texas has more installed wind capacity than any other state, along with rapid growth in solar and battery storage.
ERCOT operates a largely isolated grid that serves about 90 percent of the state's electric load, with only limited direct-current ties to neighboring grids, which restricts power imports during emergencies. After Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, the state adopted new weatherization requirements for power generation and related gas infrastructure. Rapid load growth from data centers, electrification, and industrial demand is straining transmission planning and lengthening interconnection timelines.
Shown as regional context, the major electric utilities and grid organizations operating in Texas. ESS builds substations and installs EHV apparatus across the western grid and has mobilized wherever the work is since 1978.
