Home > SREC Markets > Texas

Texas does not currently have a viable SREC market as there is no solar carve-out. Under the state's current Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), though, REC trading is allowed. Today, the Texas market is predominately dominated by wind power generation. The state does have a target for non-wind technologies set at 500 MW by 2015. The Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) are currently reviewing the non-wind target to potentially implement additional guidelines.
