It operates within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) balancing authority.
In the most recent year with available data, Tumbleweed generated 200 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 0.3%. The plant's small size results in a relatively low ranking among Texas power plants, placing it 23rd out of 33 similar facilities in the state and 382nd out of 886 nationally. Recent news coverage related to the plant has focused on hazards.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
