LCRA

Empowering the next generation of leaders! 🌟 Earlier this year, the Yoakum High School Student Council applied for and received a LCRA community grant to help fund a new marquee for their school. The marquee is part of a student-led school enhancement project and will be used to share messages and information with the community. #LCRAGivesBack

Wishing everyone a season filled with warmth, joy, and a little extra light. Happy holidays from all of us at LCRA! 🎄

Volunteering with The Salvation Army is one of our favorite holiday traditions at LCRA! Every year LCRA employees come together to make the holiday season brighter for children in Travis and Williamson counties through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program. This year, our employees sponsored 106 children and multiple teams helped to sort or distribute gifts at the Angel Tree warehouse. Giving back to the communities we serve is central to who we are! #LCRAGivesBack

"Destination Holiday" was this year's theme for LCRA's 5th Annual Gingerbread House Contest. Employees went all out making their creations! Which one is your favorite?

For more than 20 years, LCRA Transmission employees have volunteered to help string lights for Hallettsville’s Festival of Lights. Crews use their bucket trucks to hang more than 300,000 lights on the Lavaca County Courthouse. “This is just one way we give back to our communities and we look forward to doing it for many years to come,” said Brian Good, Transmission Line Construction manager. We love being able to help light up our communities for the holiday season! #LCRAGivesBack

With help from an LCRA community grant, the La Grange Lions Foundation was able to install a shade structure at Kruschel Memorial Park playground to make playtime safer and cooler. The new structure blocks more than 90% of the sun’s harmful rays helping protect kids from sunburn and hot playground equipment.

🚧 Progress Update: Timmerman Power Plant The exterior structure of Unit 1 at LCRA’s new peaker plant in Caldwell County is officially complete! Since breaking ground in April, our team has been hard at work with Fagen Inc. to build a plant that will provide power for Texans when it's needed most. Two natural gas-fueled peaker units will supply 380 MW of dispatchable power, enough for over 100,000 homes during peak demand. As Texas grows, so does the need for fast, reliable power. The Timmerman Power Plant will ensure electricity supply when other sources can’t meet demand. Unit 1 is expected to be 95% complete by the end of the year and on track to be operational in 2025. Unit 2 is scheduled to be operational in 2026. #PublicPower #LCRAPower
