# Marshall Ford ERCOT Conventional Hydroelectric · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/marshall-ford Marshall Ford is a hydroelectric facility with 108 MW of EIA-reported operating capacity in Travis County, Texas, registered as EIA Plant ID 3600. Lower Colorado River Authority owns and operates the plant. Marshall Ford is historically notable because its first hydroelectric unit entered operation on January 27, 1941, about 16 months before the high dam was completed in May 1942.
