FutureKeepers Conversations: The Sun Won This RoundRemember Winter Storm Uri?2021: The grid collapsed. Millions froze. Texas made headlines for all the wrong reasons.Fast forward to 2025. Same brutal cold. Even higher demand. But this time? The lights stayed on.What changed?☀️ 23+ GW of solar added since 2021. Once a footnote in winter, solar covered 31% of the grid at peak demand. Even in freezing temperatures, the sun kept Texas running.⚡ 4.6 GW of battery storage deployed. Texas went from “almost no storage” to enough instant power to replace a nuclear plant when the grid needed it most.🌡️ 80.6 GW of all-time winter demand—met. No blackouts. No scrambling. Just a power grid that worked.The takeaway? This isn’t the same Texas grid that failed in 2021. It’s bigger, smarter, and proving that renewables aren’t just “nice to have”—they’re critical infrastructure.And that’s exactly what we’re unpacking in this episode of FutureKeepers Conversations.🔊 How did Texas pull this off?🔊 What role did solar and storage really play?🔊 Is this the new model for grid resilience—or just a lucky break?Join the conversation. The future is already here—and it’s running on sunlight.#FutureKeepers #Texas #Energy #Solar #BatteryStorage #GridResilience #WinterStorm #TheSunWon
