In 2023, Texas produced more electricity than any other state and generated more than twice as much as second-place Florida. Texas accounted for 13% of the nation's total electricity net generation that year. Texas is the largest energy-consuming state and is the largest net supplier of energy to other states.

Texas leads the nation in energy production, providing about one-fourth of the country's domestically produced primary energy. 1 Second only to Alaska in total land area, Texas occupies 7% of the nation's total area and stretches about 800 miles at its widest points, east to west and north to south. 2 Crude oil and natural gas fields are ...
