Some might say that wind energy in Texas has become a victim of its own success. In 2005, Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe Bay, promoted wind energy and other renewable energy sources by sponsoring Senate Bill 20, which increased Renewable Portfolio Standard goals and helped to jump-start the Texas wind power industry.
Then, over the past decade, Texas achieved its goal to develop 5,880 megawatts of renewable energy—and even surpassed its nonbinding 2025 target of 10,000 MW. Today, Texas has more than 13,000 MW of renewables online and thousands more in development.
