Incorporation paperwork and other information and archives

Last Friday, Constellation Energy informed the Public Utility Commission (PUC) that it’s backing out its Wolf Hollow III plant, located in Granbury, from the Texas Energy Fund. In a letter to the PUC, a representative says, “Constellation is unable to determine with certainty the overall costs associated with the project due to the uncertain timing of the issuance of an air permit for the project…” In other words, Constellation is dropping out of the Texas Energy Fund because of community pushback from Protect Hood County.

Through a long campaign over the last year, the people of Granbury have repeatedly declared that we do not want another gas plant in our backyard. On February 13th, a group of Granbury residents successfully petitioned the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to grant a contested case hearing which delayed the issuance of an air permit critical for construction on Wolf Hollow III. This delay has cost Constellation Energy millions of dollars.

This is great news. But the fight isn’t over yet. Even without funding from the Texas Energy Fund, this plant could still be built—Constellation says its “withdrawal from the loan program does not impact the viability of the Wolf Hollow III project.”

This means that now, more than ever, we must continue to demand that this plant not be built. Right now, Protect Hood County is raising funds for legal representation for the contested case hearing. If you want to put a full stop to the Wolf Hollow III plant, please consider supporting.
