Jack Fusco Energy Center, being renamed Brazos Valley Energy Center, is a 606 MW natural gas combined-cycle plant in Fort Bend County southwest of Houston, with two combustion turbines and duct-fired heat recovery steam generators feeding one steam turbine. To meet a Justice Department divestiture requirement, Constellation agreed on 6 August 2026 to sell the plant to LS Power for $860 million, with closing expected in Q4 2026. In ERCOT it trades as unit BVE_CC1.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at BVE_CC1 over 365 days (2025-11-02 to 2026-11-01). This plant is also crosswalked to BVE_UNIT1, BVE_UNIT2, BVE_UNIT3; the point with the deepest price history is shown.
The TB2 figure is a price benchmark, not revenue: it values one perfect-foresight cycle per day between the 2 cheapest and 2 dearest hours of each day, gross of round-trip losses, and excludes ancillary services and any physical dispatch constraint. It describes what this node’s price shape was worth over the window — it is not this asset’s realized capture, and no dispatch is assumed or modelled.
