Fayette County

Fayetteville is a typical small country town.  Very friendly and warm.

               

  We usually eat at Orsak's if we split the day, great food large portions.

Fayette County Records

 

The Fayette Power Project (FPP) provides electricity for more than one million homes in Texas. FPP is comprised of three generating units with 1,605 megawatts of generating capacity. The story of FPP began in 1973 when the Lower Colorado River Authority decided that a coal-fired power plant would provide electricity at a competitive cost. A year later, the LCRA and the City of Austin became partners in FPP.

Together, Austin and the LCRA built two units on a 10-square-mile site in Fayette County, seven miles east of La Grange. As project manager, the LCRA oversaw construction of the units and continues to operate daily activities. Unit 1 was completed and placed into commercial operation in 1979; Unit 2 followed in 1980.

In 1984 the LCRA began construction of a third unit. The LCRA is the sole owner and operator of Unit 3, which began commercial operation in 1988. All three units at FPP use Western coal as their main fuel source. The LCRA has some of the most competitive electric rates in Texas because of FPP's efficient operation and fuel costs.
