Rayburn Prepares For The Future, Buys 758 MW Gas Plant

Three important changes are on the horizon for Texas’ electric utilities. They are the relentless growth in demand, as the state continues to attract new residents and businesses; a new design for ERCOT, the statewide grid; and the imminent arrival of new loads from electric vehicles and the general electrification of everything.

Things are changing rapidly, and the state’s many utilities are getting the message. Rayburn Electric Cooperative, based in Rockwall, is one of these and it is out front in its preparations for the future.
