Fayette Coal Plant

65 images Created 7 Dec 2012

Fayette Power Project in Fayette County, TX produces 1600 MW from coal mined in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming, ranking as the 14th highest CO2 emitter among U.S. plants in a 2020 study.

It is 1/3 owned by Austin Energy and 2/3 by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA). It began producing in 1979 and is currently the subject of an active movement to retire it and move to cleaner sources of energy. In 2021 an impasse was declared in Austin's efforts to negotiate a shutdown of the plant. Organizing efforts are ongoing in Austin to close the plant, but the real limiting factor is the LCRA Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by the Governor of Texas.
