SouthWest Power Pool (SPP) continues its shift from coal to wind

SPP continues to add more Wind to its grid which is displacing coal generation.

Recently almost 2/3 of total generation came from wind. Gonna need some storage soon.

SPP - which currently has 21.5 GW of wind on its system should have 30 GW by 2025. Solar is just getting started on SPP but there are more than 24GW of solar porjects on the interconnection queue. Let's see how much of this gets built.
