Entergy Texas has received approval from the Public Utility Commission of Texas to construct two state-of-the-art natural gas power plants in Southeast Texas, named the Legend and Lone Star power stations. These facilities will collectively add over 1,200 megawatts of energy capacity to the regional grid, providing reliable electricity for more than 300,000 homes. This approval is a significant step in Entergy Texas' long-term strategy, known as STEP Ahead, aimed at supporting the rapid growth and economic development in the region. The construction of these plants is expected to generate approximately $2.8 billion in economic activity and create over 9,000 construction jobs. The power stations are scheduled to be operational by mid-2028.
