The Economic Impact of Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Investments Across Texas

This report by Dr. Joshua D. Rhodes of The University of Texas at Austin analyzes the economic impacts of wind, solar, and energy storage in Texas, finding they provide billions in tax revenue and landowner payments, support rural communities, and are broadly viewed as good neighbors. If all projects under development move forward, these investments are projected to generate over $50 billion in lifetime benefits across more than 75% of Texas counties.
