As Texans braved one of the most expansive and extreme storms in our history, natural gas ramped up and powered the vast majority of electricity generation needs in Texas.

At the height of last week’s extreme cold weather event, natural gas was providing 67% of all power generation in Texas. Without natural gas, millions more Texans would have been without heat and power.

In 2019, state and local tax revenue and state royalties from the oil and natural gas industry reached the highest total in Texas history - a record $16.3 billion! That's money that funds public schools and teachers, road construction, supports first responders, and more.

Natural gas increased its percentage of the Texas power generation mix, supplying more than 60% of electricity generation every single day last week.

Natural gas is better for the environment, too. By using natural gas for electricity production, Texas power generators reduced CO2 emissions by 56% between 1990 and 2017.
