1,326 Megawatts

Lost Pines Watch has now obtained Pacifico's principal 54-page August 13 Cedar Creek air-registration application file—and most of the application record released so far. The filing identifies 48 natural-gas turbines across six model families and states a maximum nominal output of 1,326 megawatts. We have also obtained related records, and our preliminary review has identified multiple issues and unanswered questions that warrant careful scrutiny. We are verifying those findings and will publish more soon.

This is the principal nonconfidential application file released by TCEQ in response to an open-records request. Not every referenced item was included in the production, and later agency review materials may exist or still be in development.

More records—and more questions

Lost Pines Watch has also obtained related correspondence and other records. Our preliminary review has identified multiple issues and unanswered questions in the application that warrant careful scrutiny and written answers. Those issues do not, by themselves, establish a violation or determine the permit outcome. We are verifying the details and organizing the supporting record before publishing more.

More to come

Have a great weekend—and gear up to help out next week.

We will publish the additional documents, verified findings and next steps as that work is completed.
