FactVote combines EIA annual utility-scale generation with estimated small-scale solar generation, then groups sources into seven categories. The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills. Generation is electricity produced inside Texas, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented. Small-scale solar generation is estimated by EIA. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources. The residential price is a statewide nominal average and can mask large differences among utilities, plans, and household usage. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Method and limitations
U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly retail motor-gasoline survey estimate for Texas. FactVote displays the published dollars-per-gallon value and calculates changes from the published prior-week and year-earlier observations.
This is a statewide survey estimate, not the price at every station or in every Texas community.
The series is nominal and not adjusted for inflation or seasonal patterns.
Weekly estimates can be revised and can differ from monthly averages.
Compare the bill, electricity used, and price per unit for the same year.

The residential price is EIA's annual average revenue per kilowatthour and includes generation, transmission, distribution, taxes, and fees reflected in electric bills.
Generation is electricity produced inside Texas, not electricity consumed there; interstate imports and exports are not represented. Small-scale solar generation is estimated by EIA. The 'other' category is the residual of remaining reported energy sources.

Share of electricity generated within Texas from renewable energy sources; wind and solar supplied nearly all of the reported renewable share.
This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.
Renewable generation shares
Wind
22%
Solar
8%
Method and limitations
FactVote calculated each share from the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2024 state profile: utility-scale generation from Table 5 plus estimated small-scale solar generation from Table 19. The denominator includes both utility-scale and small-scale generation; displayed shares are rounded to whole percentages.
This describes electricity generated inside Texas, not every source of electricity consumed in the state.
Electricity is only one part of statewide energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions.
Outage comparisons use the same reporting standard. Major-event outages and ordinary-day outages use different EIA reporting definitions.

EIA distribution-system reliability for utilities using the IEEE standard. SAIDI is average customer interruption duration; SAIFI is average frequency.
Reported customer coverage is incomplete and differs by state. These figures cover reporting utilities, not every customer. Major-event definitions follow IEEE; a severe-weather year can dominate the all-events value. Coverage percentage is not itself outage performance.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Texas officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 2026.

Dawn works tirelessly to protect Texas’ energy dominance, and she knows energy security is essential for national security. She spent years fighting against federal overreach by Joe Biden, even taking him to court over the inappropriate listing of endangered species and his efforts to halt Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports. Dawn brings visionary transformational leadership to develop solutions regarding produced water and believes we are on the precipice of an energy revolution with the hydrogen, geothermal, and nuclear technologies. Dawn embraces necessary change and technology to maintain our energy independence and is committed to protect the 2.5 million oil and gas jobs that not only power our state, but put food on the table for Texas families and support public education!

Source topic or question: Freeze the Rates+
Candidate campaign source
As Governor, Gina will direct the Public Utility Commission to freeze the rates residential customers pay until we have laws to ensure that data centers and other high-load users pay for themselves. To bring down your electricity bill long term, Gina plans to ensure that costs from rapid infrastructure development driven by data centers and industry are paid by the corporations and billionaires that drive those costs. We know that the state needs improved grid reliability and better ways to get wind, solar, and other clean and affordable energy onto the grid, but we cannot simply trample on the rights of property owners to build 765kV transmission lines in record time because high-load users demand it. Gina wants to involve stakeholders, use least harm routes, and go through proper notice and comment timelines.

This section matches specific electricity, fuels, energy costs and emissions terms in retained, attributed source text from published Texas candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Only current Texas officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Texas statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Texas snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Texas, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
