Texas Powers Up With New Gas Plant
Description
NRG Energy just launched Texas’s first new power plant in over a decade—a 456-megawatt natural gas beast in Wharton ready to crush grid demand spikes during heatwaves or cold snaps. Backed by the state’s $10 billion Texas Energy Fund, designed to keep lights on as the economy booms and data centers surge, this plant is Governor Abbott’s bet on future power reliability. But with all this new demand, the real test is whether these plants will actually run—and how often.
