Reliable power keeps Texas growing and American energy secure. @ENERGY and Texas utility companies are working together to strengthen Texas' grid.
Texas is getting a grid upgrade thanks to @POTUS! 🇺🇸⚡️
@SecretaryWright: “These funds are allocated with a focus on making the electrical grid more resilient…just focusing on common sense, making energy more robust."

Much appreciation for @TPPF’s Dr. Brent Bennett coming to the @GCPAssociation fall conference to debate with me on the need for 765 kv transmission. A great spirited but respectful debate.

The Permian proudly powers Texas – our economy, our growth, and our nation’s energy security. The Permian Basin Reliability Plan is a necessary step to secure our region and our state for the future that companies like Ovintiv are building.

To the men and women who work tirelessly to power Texas – thank you and happy Labor Day. Together, we must continue to work to ensure adequate transmission capacity for West Texas.

Texas isn't slowing down. Growth in the Permian drove nearly 40,000 new jobs across West Texas from 2012 to 2022. Commercial energy expansion throughout the region has generated continued economic growth and high-paying jobs with generational impacts. The state must #PowerWestTexas to keep fueling our economy.
I am glad college football season is starting so we have some real issues to argue about instead of what voltage to build transmission lines at.

“Contrary to what some think tanks push…”
Many such cases.
The key conclusion is that contrary to what some think tanks and commentators push, grid-enhancing technologies are not a "non-wires alternative" to expanding transmission capacity. GETs and expanded transmission in fact go hand-in-hand.
"a grid with excess transmission capacity is a key enabler for TO and APFC to be utilized to their fullest potential. Yet these GETs are being misconstrued as ways to avoid the investments needed to build the environment in which they would thrive most."
Terrific balanced analysis of useful technologies that folks who don’t understand their limits like to overhype.

Friday Night Lights have returned to West Texas. It's another reminder that transmission decisions made in Austin reach far beyond oil and gas. They impact every family who calls West Texas home. It's time for our state to follow through on their commitment to #PowerWestTexas for all who live here.

I found 29 Fortune 500 companies that relocated >200 miles and across state lines over the past decade:
13 moved from CA; 9 from Northeast
0 moved to West Coast or Northeast
59% moved to TX; 20% to Southeast; 10% to VA
19/29 moved from a state with an income tax to one without

The #PermianBasin is on track to become America’s largest natural gas-producing region by the end of this decade.
Think about what that means for #Texas: more oil, more natural gas, more money for schools and roads—and more electricity demand.
You cannot power #Americanenergydominance that delivers #nationalsecurity without reliable electricity.
That means Texas needs a serious plan for BOTH generation and transmission in the Permian Basin. Transmission comes first and there is a real plan to deliver. Nobody has any other tangible, affordable plan. Texas can deliver reliability, affordability and protect the rights of Texas landowners - that is how we have a strong Texas.
Citi’s forecast is another reminder: Texas energy dominance does not happen automatically. The Permian needs the infrastructure now to power Texas’ future. @TXOGA @PowerWestTexas

When it comes to #powerwesttexas this post says a lot! The #PermianBasin is asking to sign up as paying customers for the electricity they need! No favors just need! Just like you need power at your house, West Texas needs new transmission lines to keep the lights on. #txlege @TXOGA
West Texas isn't asking for a favor. It's asking for the same reliability standard the rest of ERCOT already has. The region producing nearly 50% of the nation's oil and gas supply shouldn't be severely load constrained because of transmission infrastructure delays. Join us: powerwesttexas.com/#involved

🫡, @ENERGY. We must ensure adequate transmission capacity to meet future demand to keep it that way. #PowerWestTexas 🇺🇸

The need for reliable power in America’s energy security epicenter has been well documented for over a decade.
Pausing now on the Permian Basin Reliability Plan only stops the solution.
It doesn’t stop the clock on the problem.
