I work in municipal development and permitting.
Texas has had a HUGE surge in solar panel and backup generator installation over the past 4 years.
But the power companies have taken notice. The biggest part of a lot of power bills now isn't usage, but fees for being connected to the grid at all. And connection to the grid is required for a Certificate of Occupancy if you're in a city, and to get insurance or a mortgage even if you're in the county where permits aren't required.
You can't even create a legal lot in Texas without having electrical service to the lot.
