Governor Greg Abbott today celebrated the opening of the Constellation Pin Oak peaking power plant, the first Texas Energy Fund loan-backed project to come online that will deliver more reliable, affordable power to the state’s grid.

“Texas is by far the largest electrical power generator in America,” said Governor Abbott. “Today, we expand on that leadership by opening a new peaking power plant that adds 460 megawatts of electricity to our grid.
