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.

TXU Assesses Impact of UK Green Energy Regulations
LCG, Feb. 14, 2002--TXU Europe estimates that the first year of a UK plan to increase renewable generation as a percentage of overall electric power supplies will raise its costs by 20 million pounds ($28.56 million).The government issued a plan on Thursday that would require power sellers to obtain three percent of their sales from renewable sources. Ashley Turner, the company's sustainable energy portfolio manager, said that increased costs would be added to customer bills to some extent, but that efforts would be made to limit such increases. As to how much of the requirement TXU Europe will meet through its own generation assets, Turner said, "we are expecting to cover about 50 percent (of the obligation) so our buy-out cost would be roughly halved."TXU's renewable generation quota would amount to roughly 1.6 terawatt hours. The company would pay 42 million pounds ($60 million) in penalties if it sold no renewable power whatsoever. By 2011, the government's plan would require companies to supply 10.4 percent of sales from renewables.The company plans to aid green power developers in financing projects, but will not be a developer itself. It will utilize internal risk-management expertise to manage price risk from wind farm installations, which do not generate consistently at a given output level.
