We are not aware of any existing desalination plants in Texas that are being powered by alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar, bio-fuels, etc. However, we recently funded a pilot-scale brackish groundwater desalination demonstration project in Yoakum County that will use electricity generated by wind to power, at least partially, the desalination system and pumps.
