Handley Generating Station is a five-unit 1,441-megawatt (MW) station located in Fort Worth, Texas.
The station provides power to customer in the Electric Reliability Counsel of Texas (ERCOT), when needed. In May 2003, an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system was installed to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions on units 4 and 5. A similar project was completed on unit 3 in 2004 - reducing NOx emission by more than 90 percent.
Site generation dates back to 1902, when the Northern Texas Traction Company built a generating plant, the largest in the area, along the adjacent Lake Erie. Now known as Lake Arlington, the lake serves as a popular recreation and amusement area for the local community.
When Unit 1 was built, it was the first outdoor steam electric generating station of its type in the industry.
