Office of the Texas Governor | Greg Abbott | Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today championed Texas’ booming energy industry and highlighted the progress that Texas made in 2024 to increase the electric capacity of the state grid and invest in an all-of-the-above energy approach to solidify Texas as the world’s energy hub.

“Texas would not be the energy capital of the world without the hard work of the men and women of the energy industry,” said Governor Abbott. “As Texas continues to experience unprecedented growth, we will remain a leader in energy while also bolstering the Texas grid to meet the growing demands of our great state. In the last twelve months, we increased dispatchable power capabilities of the grid ensuring that every Texan has access to affordable and reliable power. Working together, we will continue to strengthen our energy industry and increase capacity to ensure every home and business has the power needed to thrive in 2025 and beyond.”
