The Decker Creek Power Station produces 926 MW from natural gas. It was completed in 1978 and is operated by Austin Energy. Originally powered by fuel oil, the plant transitioned to natural gas.
Decker Steam Unit #1 and Unit #2 are now closed as of spring 2022. They have been replaced by 600 GW of West Texas utility scale solar power. This will significantly reduce the air pollutants, especially NOx in the Decker area. The gas peaker units, which are not prominent in the phots, remain in service.
