INTERNATIONAL PAPER TEXARKANA MILL, a 65 MW Natural Gas power plant in Cass County, Texas. Operated by INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO, commissioned 1972.
How INTERNATIONAL PAPER TEXARKANA MILL compares
With 65 MW of capacity, INTERNATIONAL PAPER TEXARKANA MILL ranks 207th among the 307 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Texas and 115th of the 134 operating Natural Gas plants in the state. It accounts for under 0.1% of Texas's operating Natural Gas capacity and under 0.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 758th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1972, it is older than 82% of the 303 operating Texas plants with a recorded commissioning year.
Under the same EIA plant code, EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 65 MW of nameplate capacity. Net generation was 337 GWh in 2024 (a 59% capacity factor), down 8% from 2022. Its generators came online between 1972 and 1977.

Weather peril exposure
INTERNATIONAL PAPER TEXARKANA MILL is a 65 MW natural gas power plant in Cass County, TX, operated by INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO, commissioned in 1972. Cass County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.8 of 5 at the 94th national percentile. Ice storm is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 95th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a natural gas plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Cass County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ice storm | Relatively High | 95th | 4.8 of 5 | 0.99 |
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 95th | 4.8 of 5 | 5.7 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Moderate | 83rd | 4.3 of 5 | 19.1 |
| Lightning | Relatively Low | 81st | 4.2 of 5 | 60.4 |
| Strong wind | Relatively High | 77th | 4.1 of 5 | 6.1 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 73rd | 3.9 of 5 | 3.7 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | 60th | 3.4 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Hurricane | Very Low | 55th | 3.2 of 5 | 0.01 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 47th | 2.9 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Tornado | Relatively Moderate | 42nd | 2.7 of 5 | 0.82 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Low | 13th | 1.5 of 5 | 0.75 |
Perils not assessed in Cass County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
