Wind power in Texas consists of over 40 wind farms, which together have a total nameplate capacity of over 28,000 MW (as of 2019). If Texas were a country, it would rank fifth in the world:[1] The installed wind capacity in Texas exceeds installed wind capacity in all countries but China, the United States, Germany and India. Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state.[1][3] According to ERCOT (Energy Reliability Council of Texas), wind power accounted for at least 15.7% of the electricity generated in Texas during 2017, as wind was 17.4% of electricity generated in ERCOT, which manages 90% of Texas's power. ERCOT set a new wind output record of nearly 19.7 GW at 7:19 pm Central Standard Time on Monday, January 21, 2019

Driven by the massive expansion of high-voltage transmission during the last decade, and extremely attractive market incentives and contracts, Texas has become the most fruitful state for wind development in the United States. During 2018, electricity production from wind farms in Texas reached 73.3 million MWh. To put that figure into perspective, consider that all utility-scale solar in the U.S. accounted for only 63.5 million MWh during the same period.
In just two decades, Texas wind capacity has grown from virtually nothing to more than 28 GW of installed operating capacity today – that’s 27.4% of all operating wind capacity across the country. New capacity additions in the state during 2019 totaled 3,895 MW. Already in 2020, 168 MW of new capacity has started operation, with 308 MW currently in testing, while 3,106 MW is under construction. The wind projects currently in construction across Texas, represent 18.3% of the U.S. total. Wikipedia
