According to an Aug. 2022 Texas Tribune article, there are 11,000 wind turbines in the Texas Panhandle that are basically unavailable to the Texas grid due to lack of transmission capability.
Why the Texas grid causes the High Plains to turn off its wind turbines
Brilliant minds at work in the "Green Energy Dept." down here.
A good portion of the Texas Panhandle is not served by ERCOT - it's in the Eastern Interconnection, directly tied up into Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and beyond. Anything generated there has but a small transmission path to the ERCOT area, which is the bulk of Texas.
If someone built wind farms in that area with the expectation of selling power to, say, Houston, they weren't thinking things through. They should have also built transmission paths to where the customers are also.
BTW, this is not an issue isolated to Texas - in general, wind farms are located away from the load centers, and thus rely on an ever-increasing amount of power transmission lines to get their power to the customers. Federal regulators are pushing to build more wire, but state regulators are putting on the brakes - I mean, why would a state that is not the recipient of the generation from wind mills, say, to their west, be receptive to building major transmission lines across their states that only serve to benefit power users to their east?
Personally, unless I could make some money from it, I would not want a large transmission line going across my property or my state that didn't benefit me. My land, go around it. Or maybe build the plant where the customers are, like they used to do in the old days.
