Planning for the Future: How Texas Is Securing Energy and Water Resources for Growth
July 3, 2025
With a population surging past 31 million and the eighth-largest economy in the world, Texas is experiencing an unprecedented wave of industrial growth. This expansion is powered in part by the state’s unmatched energy output — Texas produces nearly a quarter of all U.S. energy, more than any other state. While this growth brings jobs, investment, and innovation, it also places new demands on the infrastructure that underpins the Lone Star State’s economic momentum.
Texas’s Bold Response to Energy and Water Demands
Booming sectors like tech, manufacturing, and logistics are driving sharp increases in Texas’ energy use, placing growing pressure on grid capacity and reliability. At the same time, prolonged drought and aging infrastructure have raised concerns about the long-term stability of water supply systems.
