About

The SCHNEIDER GAS RICE project is a proposed 113.02 MW gas-fired generation project located in Caldwell County, Texas. Developed by LCRA, the project consists of internal combustion technology and is listed in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-29INR0176, filed on July 29, 2025. The proposed commercial operation date is August 2, 2029, and an Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on December 19, 2025.

The point of interconnection (POI) is at Double Tap 345kV #7042 Zorn - #7040 Austrop and #7042 Zorn - #9074 Lytton Springs. The SCHNEIDER GAS RICE project has been mentioned in recent news coverage.
