Entergy Texas said on October 14 that it had placed the Orange County Advanced Power Station into service. The company lists the facility’s capacity at 1,215 MW and says it adds around-the-clock generation for Southeast Texas.

The company said the station can produce enough electricity for more than 230,000 homes and that its more efficient fuel technology is expected to generate over $1 billion in long-term customer savings. The savings figure is a company estimate, not realized customer savings.
