Texas wind set a new record last week.
At 12:07 am Friday, wind power generated 19,168 megawatts of electricity for a brief moment, beating the previous record of 17,920 megawatts, recorded at 3:32 p.m. on Nov. 12, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state's primary electric grid operator.
More than 22,000 megawatts of wind generating capacity are installed in ERCOT's region, which includes about 90 percent of the state's electric load. West Texas generates over half of that. In total, ERCOT has nearly 80,000 megawatts of installed capacity among all types of power generators.
