R W MILLER, a 604 MW Natural Gas power plant in Palo Pinto County, Texas. Operated by BRAZOS ELECTRIC POWER COOP INC, commissioned 1968.
How R W MILLER compares
With 604 MW of capacity, R W MILLER ranks 61st among the 307 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Texas and 46th of the 134 operating Natural Gas plants in the state. It accounts for about 0.9% of Texas's operating Natural Gas capacity and 0.6% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 255th-largest of the 1,185 operating Natural Gas plants in the database. Commissioned in 1968, it is older than 85% of the 303 operating Texas plants with a recorded commissioning year. Its operator, BRAZOS ELECTRIC POWER COOP INC, runs 3 operating plants in Texas totaling 2,166 MW.
EIA-860 lists 5 generators at the site with 604 MW of nameplate capacity, mainly natural gas steam turbine technology. Net generation was 477 GWh in 2024 (a 9% capacity factor), up 34% from 2022. Its generators came online between 1968 and 1994.

Weather peril exposure
R W MILLER is a 604 MW natural gas power plant in Palo Pinto County, TX, operated by BRAZOS ELECTRIC POWER COOP INC, commissioned in 1968. Palo Pinto County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.5 of 5 at the 86th national percentile. Hail is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 88th 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.
