LCG, September 12, 2025--Entergy announced yesterday that the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) approved Entergy Texas’ proposal to build two efficient natural gas-fired power plants to support the region’s rapid growth. The combined electric generating capacity of the two facilities, the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station, will add over 1,200 MW to the Southeast Texas power grid to support new customer demand, increase reliability and lower costs for all customers. Both facilities are scheduled to commence operations by mid-2028.

San Francisco Voters go for Solar Power
LCG, Nov. 8, 2001--San Francisco voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly endorsed using the sun to generate electricity for their fog-shrouded city.When the votes from all precincts had been counted yesterday, a solar power measure had won with 73 percent of the vote. The initiative will allow the city to issue $100 million in revenue bonds to pay for solar power systems.Among the backers of the proposition was the anti-nuke activist group Greenpeace. "We think it's historic," said Danny Kennedy, who coordinated the group's campaign in California. He said the nation has "turned the corner and become a leader in the solar race because of this choice by San Francisco citizens."Supporters of the measure say that within a year San Francisco could have 20 megawatts of solar capacity on the roofs of public building and schools. Another 30 megawatts could be produced by wind turbines scattered around the Bay Area.While solar arrays produce some electricity even when the sun's rays weakly penetrate a thick layer of fog, wind turbines produce no electricity at all unless the wind is blowing just right. San Francisco can probably count on about 16 megawatts from all those photovoltaic cells and wind turbines.The city of San Francisco represents a standard load of about 1,000 megawatts. On Tuesday, voters also approved a ballot measure to form a municipal utility and get a divorce from Pacific Gas & Electric Co.It will take a lot of solar power to keep the lights lit.
