A staff member for the Lower Colorado River Authority told the board that LCRA is building the Timmer Power Plant in Caldwell County and plans a multi-billion-dollar transmission capital program to support reliability and growth.

The staff member said the Timmer Power Plant will have two units totaling about 380 megawatts, which the staff member said is “enough power to provide more than 100,000 homes during periods of peak demand.” The first unit is on track to be operational in 2025, and the second unit is scheduled for 2026, the staff member said.

On transmission, the staff member said LCRA plans to invest more than $4,000,000,000 in transmission capital projects over the next five years to support safety, reliability and grid resilience. The staff member added that the authority expects the amount to grow with potential large projects in areas such as the Permian Basin.

These remarks were presented as program updates; the meeting record does not show any formal board votes or funding approvals tied to these specific schedule or capital-commitment numbers during this session.
