The W.A. Parish Generating Station is a 3.65-gigawatt (3,653 MW), dual-fired power plant located near Thompsons, Texas. The station occupies a 4,664-acre site near Smithers Lake southwest of Houston in Fort Bend County and consists of two four-unit plants; one natural gas and the other coal (2,697 MW). With a total installed capacity of 3,653 MW, it is the second largest conventional power station in the US, and supplies about fifteen percent of the energy in the Houston area. NRG Energy owns and operates the plant.

  • Das Kraftwerk W. A. Parish ist ein Kohle- und Gaskraftwerk in Thompsons, südlich von Houston (Texas). Mit einer installierten Gesamtleistung von über 3,6 GW ist es das größte konventionelle Kraftwerk in den USA. Die Steinkohleblöcke verbrennen schwefelarme Kohle aus dem Powder River Basin. Das CO2 aus dem Rauchgas des Blocks 8 soll im CCS-Projekt Petra Nova abgeschieden und zur tertiären Ölgewinnung verwendet werden. Geplant ist, die Anlage bis Ende 2016 fertigzustellen. (de)
  • The W.A. Parish Generating Station is a 3.65-gigawatt (3,653 MW), dual-fired power plant located near Thompsons, Texas. The station occupies a 4,664-acre site near Smithers Lake southwest of Houston in Fort Bend County and consists of two four-unit plants; one natural gas and the other coal (2,697 MW). With a total installed capacity of 3,653 MW, it is the second largest conventional power station in the US, and supplies about fifteen percent of the energy in the Houston area. NRG Energy owns and operates the plant. The Powder River Basin supplies three 115-car trainloads worth of low-sulfur coal to units 5-8 or 36,000 tons daily. Completed in January 2017, the post-combustion Petra Nova Carbon Capture Project became largest installed on an existing power plant in the world. The system pumped 1.6 million tons of filtered carbon dioxide (CO2) from unit 8 to the West Ranch Oil Field 82 miles away in Jackson County. Overall as the system was powered by natural gas it was expected to have a net effect of not releasing 785,000 tons of carbon annually. The system cost approximately $1 billion, but was idled in 2020 due to the low price of oil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjacent to Parish Station is the natural gas Brazos Valley Power Plant owned by Calpine Energy which opened in 2003. (en)
