en.Wedoany.com Reported - Entergy Texas, a U.S. power company, has begun construction on the Legend Power Station and the Lone Star Power Station. These two natural gas-fired power plants will add a combined capacity of over 1.2 gigawatts, are expected to begin serving customers in 2028, and will be able to supply electricity to more than 300,000 households.

State and local officials, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Public Utility Commission Commissioner Courtney Jarltman, attended the groundbreaking ceremony. These two natural gas plants were approved by the Texas Public Utility Commission in 2025.

These projects are part of Entergy Texas's Southeast Texas Energy Plan, which aims to match the region's rapid population growth and industrial expansion by increasing reliable power generation capacity. Together with the Orange County Advanced Power Station, which is expected to begin operations later this year, the three plants will collectively bring over 2.4 gigawatts of new generation capacity to the region by 2028.
