Entered ERCOT interconnection queue, Facility Study phase
The Tolar Energy Center is a proposed 1252 MW gas-fired combined-cycle generation project located in Hood County, Texas. Developed by NRG Tolar Power LLC, the project is currently active in the ERCOT interconnection queue as entry ERCOT-29INR0180, with a queue entry date of September 22, 2025. The proposed commercial operation date is November 1, 2029. The point of interconnection is Tap 345 KV circuit 1 from 1440 Comanche Switch to 1900 Comanche Peak SES.
The Tolar Energy Center development has been the subject of recent news coverage, with four articles appearing in industry and deals publications.
