Sandow Lakes Energy to Build 1.2-GW Natural Gas Plant in Texas Amid Ongoing Power Shortages

A Texas-based energy company, Sandow Lakes Energy Co., has announced plans to build a 1.2-GW natural gas-fired power plant in Lee County, Texas, with construction set to begin in 2025. The facility will be powered by two Siemens Energy SGT6-9000HL turbines and is expected to come online by 2028. The announcement comes as Texas continues to face power shortages, including days-long disruptions from Winter Storm Uri in 2021 and Winter Storm Elliott in 2022. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has sought bids to increase the state’s electricity supply by at least 3 GW last year. The grid operator has issued several Operating Condition Notice (OCN) declarations over the past few years, warning participants in the state’s deregulated power market system to be prepared for emergency conditions.
