Mark One Power Station is an operating natural-gas-fired peaking station near Angleton in Brazoria County, Texas, within the ERCOT market. The facility comprises eight GE LM6000 aeroderivative combustion turbine generators (CTG-1 through CTG-8), each rated at 60.5 MW nameplate capacity, totaling approximately 484 MW. Originally developed and owned by WattBridge Energy LLC, it was constructed by PROENERGY Services from 2021 to 2023, with the initial six units commissioned in early 2023 and CTG-7 and CTG-8 entering operation in 2024. The station is interconnected at 138 kV to the CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric transmission system and delivers fast-start, reduced-emissions peaking power to support grid reliability and renewable integration. CPS Energy (City Public Service of San Antonio) acquired the facility on September 24, 2025, as part of a four-plant portfolio purchase from PROENERGY; PROENERGY continues to operate and maintain the station under service agreements.

Capacity factor is average output vs. this plant's observed peak.
Observed ERCOT settlement prices at BCH_RN over 365 days (2025-10-12 to 2026-10-11).
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.
