Entergy Texas has proposed the construction of two state-of-the-art natural gas power plants, Legend and Lone Star, in Liberty and Jefferson counties of Southeast Texas to meet the region's increasing electricity demand. The company filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas seeking approval for these projects. The Legend Power Station, a 754-megawatt facility in Port Arthur, will incorporate carbon capture technology and a hydrogen-capable combustion turbine, aiming to provide sustainable energy for 190,000 homes. Similarly, the Lone Star Power Station, a 453-megawatt facility near Cleveland, will feature a hydrogen-capable combustion turbine to generate energy for over 110,000 homes. Both plants are expected to bring $2.8 billion in economic benefits to the region and create employment opportunities. The projects align with Entergy Texas' strategic plan, STEP Ahead, which focuses on enhancing grid reliability, adding generation capacity, and improving infrastructure to meet growing energy needs in Southeast Texas.
