Texas Gas Rush: Corpus Christi

Two natural gas plants in Nueces County were selected for funding from the Texas Energy Fund. One will be the Perseus Generation Plant, a large 885 MW peaker plant sponsored by ENGIE Flexible Generation NA LLC, located southwest of Corpus Christi in Nueces County. At the time of this writing, the TCEQ has approved one Air New Source Permit (number 176995). There are no other permits registered for this plant in the TCEQ.

The other natural gas plant will be the Javelina Power Plant, a 271 MW plant sponsored by Howard Power Generation in Corpus Christi. It will be fueled primarily by residue gas from the existing Javelina Gas Processing plant. This existing processing plant is connected to all six pipelines that flow through Corpus Christi it breaks down and processes the various forms of gas and oil into derivative products, like hydrogen. The new plant will generate electricity partially delivered by these derivative fuels. No permits have been filed for the Javelina Power Plant at the time of this writing.
