Units 1 & 2 Area Impacts
1,220 Employees and team members.
$100 MillionCurrent annual Comanche Peak payroll. Average salary and benefits of plant
employees is about $80,000/year.
$1 BillionTotal of tax payments and other monetary
donations to local communities.
Over $615,000
Raised for Hood County United Way in past 4 years.
$1.1 Million
Ongoing average annual payments for the construction of Lake Granbury for the past 38 years.
When payments are complete, we will have spent $46 million to fully underwrite the
construction cost of Lake Granbury.

Benefits of Potential Expansion
Safe Operations: Strong history of safe operations
Clean-Air Energy: Zero greenhouse gas emissions (existing main units)
Dependable Power: High annual availability factors
Advanced Technology: Improved nuclear design
Ratepayer Certainty: Owners pay for construction – not ratepayers

Future Economic Benefits of Proposed Expansion (Perryman Group)
11
$22 billion in Texas Economic Impact: Including increased retail sales, personal income and gross state product. This would be the largest economic development project in state history.
Thousands of New Jobs: In addition to thousands of construction jobs, the new units would create about 1,000 new, on-site jobs. With the economic development multiplier, this is expected to create a total of 6,200 Texas jobs.
Increased State Revenue: State tax revenue is projected to increase by more than $490 million during development and construction – by more than $30 million annually once the plant is operational.
