Tenaga surya diproyeksikan lampaui batu bara di jaringan listrik Texas tahun ini

Tenaga surya diproyeksikan akan menghasilkan listrik lebih banyak daripada batu bara untuk pertama kalinya di pasar Electric Reliability Council of Texas tahun ini. Perubahan ini terjadi seiring dengan pesatnya penambahan kapasitas tenaga surya oleh para pengembang, sementara tidak ada pembangkit listrik tenaga batu bara baru yang dibangun. Proyeksi federal menunjukkan hasil tenaga surya mencapai 78 miliar kilowatt-jam pada tahun 2026 dibandingkan dengan 60 miliar dari batu bara.

Electric Reliability Council of Texas, atau ERCOT, mengelola pasar listrik kompetitif di negara bagian tersebut. Hasil tenaga surya sudah melampaui batu bara secara bulanan tahun lalu dari bulan Maret hingga Agustus. Tahun ini, tenaga surya diperkirakan akan memimpin dari Maret hingga Desember, menurut U.S. Energy Information Administration di Departemen Energi.

Utah became the first state to legalize plug-in solar panels that connect directly to home outlets, inspiring similar legislation in 30 other states and the District of Columbia. Republican state Representative Raymond Ward sponsored the unanimous bill last year after learning about Europe's balcony solar trend. The technology promises affordable solar power without costly rooftop installations.

Homeowners are shifting from exporting excess solar power to the grid toward storing it in batteries due to changing net metering rules and climbing electricity prices. This trend favors systems that combine solar panels with batteries and electric vehicles for better energy management. Experts highlight the potential for integrated whole-home electrification solutions.
