Where does LCRA get the power it sells to co-ops and cities in Central Texas?
LCRA generates electricity at a coal-fired power plant (Fayette Power Project in Fayette County), two natural gas-fired plants (Thomas C. Ferguson at Marble Falls, Sim Gideon at Bastrop), and one combined-cycle gas-fired plant (Lost Pines 1 Power Project at Bastrop). LCRA also generates hydroelectric power at its Highland Lakes dams — Buchanan, Inks, Wirtz, Starcke, Mansfield and Tom Miller — and purchases wind power from three West Texas wind projects.
