Want to find out how other jurisdictions are making solar work for them? These are the projects, programs, and policies from Texas solar leaders. Below are links to solar commitments, large solar projects, Solarize initiatives, solar development plans, and PACE programs throughout Texas.
Austin's municipal utility added a record 18.8 megawatts (MV) of new local solar generation in 2025. Austin Energy now supports 188 MW of total solar capacity with this addition, and has advanced closer to reaching its 2027 goal of 205 MW of solar capacity.
Through a commitment to go totally renewable by 2017, the City of Georgetown has become one of the largest municipally-owned utilities in the US to supply its customers with 100% solar and wind energy. This initiative even lead to an oversupply of electricity, which you can read more about in this link!
In 2018, the Denton Renewable Resource Plan (DRRP) was adopted by the City Council, setting a goal to have 100% of Denton's energy load under renewable energy. This was accomplished by implementing a landfill gas to energy project, purchasing wind energy, and offering rebates for solar installations.
"The City of San Antonio’s “Solar Development Plan” identifies a set of stakeholder-recommended strategies, concepts, goals, and action steps that will increase San Antonio’s leadership in the solar industry and will help guide the region’s activities in deploying solar technologies and in growing various aspects of the solar industry in the near-, middle-, and long-term (defined as 2015, 2020, and 2030 respectively)."
