Bastrop County asks state regulators for hearing on Cedar Creek gas plant
Bastrop County commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday asking Texas environmental regulators to hold a formal public meeting on a proposed natural gas-fired power plant in Cedar Creek. The request does not itself approve or halt the project.
Bastrop County commissioners voted Tuesday, Oct. 13, to ask the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to hold a formal public meeting about a proposed natural gas-fired power plant in Cedar Creek.
The Commissioners Court approved a resolution seeking the meeting. The action asks the state environmental agency to convene the public; it is not a decision on whether the plant can be built.
The publicly reported details did not specify the plant’s proposed capacity, developer or expected timeline. Those details, along with whether the TCEQ will schedule a meeting, were not immediately available.
