Dansby is a City of Bryan generation facility in Brazos County, Texas, operated by Bryan Texas Utilities. EIA's May 2026 inventory lists three operating natural-gas generators totaling 203.2 MW nameplate and 204.2 MW net summer capability: a 105 MW steam unit and two 49.1 MW combustion turbines. BTU identifies units 2 and 3 as GE LM6000 fast-start turbines. EIA reports service dates of September 1978, February 2004 and March 2010; BTU's current system brochure describes unit 3 as commissioned in 2009, so both records are retained with their source scope.
