Avista-Steag will own 51 percent of the plant and NRG the remaining 49 percent. Financial data were not disclosed.Eberhard Schmidt, speaking for Avista-Steag, said "The Brazos Valley project represents an important step toward increasing the efficiency of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas generation fleet, 63 percent of which is between 21 and 40 years of age."Schmidt added "One estimate puts total ERCOT generation shortfall at over 10,000 megawatts in the year 2005 at a 15 percent reserve margin.
