Energy solution and service provider INNIO Group is set to supply technology for a 104MW power plant in Texas, US, which is designed to help reinforce grid stability.

INNIO is partnering with Greenville Electric Utility System (GEUS) on the project to support peak load demands and facilitate greater renewable energy integration.

The plant is scheduled for commissioning in mid-2027.

Construction work on the project began in early December, and the facility will feature 11 J920 FleXtra engines, each delivering 9.5MW, along with advanced cooling systems and emissions-aftertreatment systems.

INNIO Group president and CEO Olaf Berlien said: “This project is a milestone for Texas and for INNIO. With fast-start capability, flexibility, and sustainability, we are creating the energy infrastructure that modern grids need: reliable, growth-promoting, and supporting the expansion of renewables.”

INNIO said the J920 FleXtra engine is capable of delivering full load in just two minutes, demonstrating the fast-start capabilities,.

The investment from GEUS in advanced technology aims to meet the increasing requirements of over 17,200 customers in Greenville, Texas, and the nearby area.

The new power plant will be capable of covering peak loads in the grid of over 125MW.

GEUS general manager Bill Shepherd said: “This project is more than an infrastructure upgrade; it’s a commitment to supply the Greenville community with fast-start, low-cost, reliable generation for years to come.

“As our community grows, having a power resource that can respond instantly to peak demand is essential. This new plant positions GEUS to ensure long-term reliability, manage costs responsibly, and continue delivering the dependable service our customers expect.”

GEUS is the oldest of the 72 municipally-owned utilities in Texas. The utility serves its hometown community with more than 16,600 electric customers and over 5,000 cable and Internet customers.
