The Future is Texas: Leading the Charge in Energy Innovation
April 16, 2025
Due to factors such as a growing population and a greater reliance on power-hungry data centers, generation of electricity in the U.S. is projected to rise nearly 2.3% per year from 2025 to 2029. Energy sources like natural gas, oil, solar, wind and hydrogen will help fuel this growth.
Today, Texas plays a critical role in meeting the nation’s energy needs. In fact, it sits at the center of our nation’s energy economy.
The Lone Star State outpaces all other states for energy generation by a long shot, responsible for about one-fourth of the country’s energy production. It could easily be argued that Texas and Houston share the title of Energy Capital of the World. As the Lone Star State continues to dominate production of traditional and renewable energy, and continues to offer an array of economic benefits, you might say Texas represents our country’s economic future — at least in terms of business formations, relocations and expansions in energy and an array of other industries.
