The Texas A&M System is considering a plan to boost the Texas power grid and prevent blackouts by building 'peaker' power plants on their land.
with a proposal to use their land for building “peaker” power plants. These plants are in the early planning stages but could play a significant role in addressing energy demand .The primary aim of these “peaker” power plants is to prevent blackouts and brownouts by providing an alternative energy source when renewable energy is insufficient. These plants would only operate during times of peak energy demand , helping to stabilize the grid.
This initiative comes in response to the Texas Energy Fund, passed last year, which seeks to bolster the state’s energy infrastructure.John Sharp, Chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, explained, “They make sure that your houses don’t go dark and it’s not just a great service to the people of Texas by providing a lot more megawatts of power but also to the communities that we have our campuses embedded in.”T.J.
