White Stallion Energy Center is a 1320 Megawatt, base-load, solid fueled electric power generating station utilizing the most environmentally advanced, cleanest, commercially proven, emission lowering technology available.

As a result, the plant is much cleaner than earlier versions of solid fueled generation. The circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler design removes sulfur dioxide during the combustion process by adding limestone into the boiler. The low combustion design temperature prevents the formation of much of the nitrogen oxides and a Selective Non-Catalytic Reducer removes virtually all of the remainder. Mercury and particulate emissions are captured by “bag houses” and by other new technology unavailable on older Texas power plants. The project will be fueled by pet coke, a byproduct of oil refining produced in the region in a blend with high quality bituminous coal imported into Texas. These fuels can be delivered by rail, barge, or truck. An application for water has been submitted to LCRA.

The project will produce enough electricity to supply 650,000 homes throughout the South Texas region. As electricity prices have risen dramatically in Texas this summer, and as they continue to rise due to the demand to fuel the huge on-going economic growth of our State, White Stallion Energy Center will provide a lower cost alternative to natural gas fired generation in Texas, and at significantly reduced cost versus all popular possible technology alternatives.
