Namuhla iTexas iyisifundazwe saseMelika lokho ikhiqiza cishe izikhathi ezine amandla omoya amaningi kuneCalifornia, izwe lesithathu ngobukhulu elivela, futhi liphindwe kathathu kune-Iowa, likleliswe endaweni yesibili. Isifunda esikhiqiza amaphesenti angama-28 egesi yemvelo kanye nama-37% kawoyela ongahluziwe wase-United States.
ITexas inyuse amandla wayo wamandla omoya angama-80% aya kuma-megawatts ayi-18.000 kusukela ngo-2010, ngesizukulwane samanje somoya esiphindwe kabili kunaleso sonyaka. Futhi kungukuthi kunezigesi zomoya ezingaphezu kuka-10.000 kulesi sifundazwe ukuze, ebusika obudlule, umoya uzonikezela ngo-40-50% kagesi. Isikhukhula somoya saseTexas size ngaphandle kosizo olukhulu oluvela kudume ngamaloli weTexan T. Boon Pickens, obuyele emuva ezinhlelweni ezinkulu zomoya esifundazweni.
ITexas manje ikhiqiza amandla omoya amaningi kunakho konke lokho ngokuhlanganyela khiqiza amazwe angama-25 aseMelika. Iqiniso elingajwayelekile kwesinye sezifunda lapho uwoyela ususungulwe kahle futhi lokho kusinika uphawu lwezikhathi zezinguquko ezisondelayo, uma kungenjalo sesivele sikhona.
I-Texas inokuhlukahluka kwiphothifoliyo yamandla ekuvumela ukuthi kube ngu-rkhetha kugesi wemvelo uma kwenzeka amandla omoya engasebenzi lapho umoya ushona phansi. Izitshalo zegesi ziyatholakala kulowo mandla okuxhasa angasuka ekumisweni ngokuphelele asebenze ngokugcwele emizuzwini eyi-10 futhi ayeke ukusebenza lapho umoya uqala ukuvunguza futhi.
I-Amazon noJohnson & Johnson yizinkampani ezimbili ezikhulayo ezibanjwa ngamandla omoya eTexas. I-Amazon ifuna ukwakha ipulazi lomoya elizonikezela ngogesi amahora ayisigidi ngonyaka kagesi, amandla anele emakhaya angama-90.000. Lokhu kwenza iTexas ibe yisibonelo kulo lonke leli lizwe.
