Independent power producer WattBridge Energy, LLC announced today commissioning of the Remy Jade Generating Station in Harris County. The 384-MW facility is the sixth facility in just four years for WattBridge, now producing fast-start dispatchable power for nearly 2 million homes.
Powered by eight 48-MW PROENERGY aeroderivative gas-turbine packages, Remy Jade supports renewable generation when load demand exceeds supply in any weather condition. This new facility delivers much-needed grid resilience and energy security as Texas peak demand repeatedly sets new records.
WattBridge now operates a 2,304-MW portfolio of dispatchable power generation resources within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid.
"The WattBridge platform answers the call for new power generation in Texas like no one else," says WattBridge President, Mike Alvarado. "Since 2020, we have commissioned six generating facilities with 48 turbines and created the largest LM6000 fleet in the world. Now we're ready to build more capacity for Texans."
WattBridge submitted four projects totaling more than 1,600 MW to the Texas Energy Fund (TEF), which will expand the platform to nearly 5,000 MW in the state. The new facilities, like all WattBridge plants, will be delivered as turnkey PowerFLX solutions by PROENERGY.
"Dispatchable generation isn't just a part of the energy transition, it is the energy transition," says Jeff Canon, PROENERGY CEO. "A clean energy future requires a practical and repeatable model with proven technology that supports renewable development in every power market in the world."
