Facility Study completion target per LBNL queue data
The Schneider Combined Cycle project is a proposed 880 MW gas-fired combined-cycle generation project located in Caldwell County, Texas. Developed by LCRA, the project is interconnected within the ERCOT region under queue ID ERCOT-30INR0054. The project entered the interconnection queue on July 29, 2025, and has a proposed commercial operation date of December 15, 2030. An Interconnection Agreement (IA) was executed on December 19, 2025.
The point of interconnection (POI) is the Double Tap 345kV #7042 Zorn - #7040 Austrop and #7042 Zorn - #9074 Lytton Springs. The development has been the subject of recent news coverage, with six articles appearing in industry and deals publications.
