Natural gas could play a role in the green energy transition, but additional natural transmission pipelines are critical to meet growing electricity demand.

The state is aggressively pushing to deploy the next generation of atomic energy that would power big industrial operations.

It took a man actively trying not to find oil to make the biggest oil discovery in U.S. history.

ERCOT says conditions this winter could spark extreme cold, but additional power supply and continued weatherization efforts will lower the risk of power outages.

The Southern Spirit Transmission project would allow limited energy to flow between the Texas grid and neighboring grids.
