It accounts for about 0.2% of Texas's operating Natural Gas capacity and 0.1% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 658th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1966, it is older than 86% of the 303 operating Texas plants with a recorded commissioning year.
Under the same EIA plant code, EIA-860 lists 6 generators at the site with 112 MW of nameplate capacity. Net generation was 48.9 GWh in 2024 (a 5% capacity factor), down 3% from 2022. Its generators came online between 1966 and 2010.

Weather peril exposure
POWERLANE PLANT is a 110 MW natural gas power plant in Hunt County, TX, operated by CITY OF GREENVILLE - (TX), commissioned in 1966. Hunt County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.5 of 5 at the 87th national percentile. Ice storm is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 93rd 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.
