“ Our second objective is to immediately build more power generation , which links to our third goal , to achieve 24 / 7 , dispatchable generation . The fourth step is to adopt an ‘ all-of-the-above ’ approach , inclusive of renewables , to ensure a diverse portfolio of power generation resources . Our fifth goal is upgrading transmission infrastructure and installing additional lines where routing power is most needed . Lastly , as cases of extreme weather events continue to rise , we ’ re striving to strengthen the power grid and reduce the duration of weather-related outages and restoration costs with a resiliency plan that was filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas ( PUCT ) in June .
“ We have made several filings with the PUCT over the last few months ,” Eliecer adds . “ In line with our ambition for immediate additional power generation , we announced two new natural gas plants in Southeast Texas : the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power
Station . Together , the plants will boast around 1200 megawatts of power and generate $ 2.8 billion in economic development .
“ With this plan , we hope to retain the state ’ s position as an energy leader in the country and around the world , and we ’ ve spoken with Texas leadership to gain support for these much-needed resources . We ’ re not the only company embarking on this journey and it ’ s not something we ’ re doing to benefit ourselves ; instead , we must come together to secure our future power needs for the coming years .”
The company ’ s STEP Ahead plan outlines ambitious targets for the state that not only encompass energy generation , but also reliability and affordability . However , these aspects are not the only things Entergy Texas considers when planning an investment . “ When it comes to our investments , we ’ re passionate about local and diverse spending to ensure that each has a meaningful long-term impact ,” Eliecer says . “ It ’ s not only important for us
