Wolf Hollow II Generating Station

Natural gas serves as a bridge to a clean energy future, giving off less than half of the carbon emissions of coal when burned

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Wolf Hollow II Generating Station is a 1,115-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle gas and steam turbine generation facility in Granbury, Texas, owned and operated by Constellation. Wolf Hollow II Generating Station began commercial operations in June 2017 and includes two low-carbon combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT).​

Wolf Hollow II Generating Station's gas turbines are the most advanced gas turbines designed, making them two of the cleanest, most efficient combined-cycle turbine units in the country. The new units use air for cooling instead of water, which is important in drought-prone Texas.

Bitcoin Noise Issues June 14, 2024 

Constellation is committed to being a good neighbor and has a strong track record of supporting Granbury, Hood County and other communities where we live and work.

Constellation and our team at Wolf Hollow II have been closely monitoring the noise situation at the bitcoin facility next to the plant, including the recent town hall meetings and news coverage.

As a proud member of the Hood County community, we take the concerns local residents have raised seriously. We are in regular, direct conversations with residents. We hear the concerns, and we are working closely with the bitcoin facility’s owner to look for ways to reduce noise and address the community’s concerns.  

Marathon is working on a number of strategies to mitigate the sound coming from the facility and they have shared those preliminary actions with nearby neighbors and the broader Granbury/Hood County community. Both Marathon and Constellation are consulting with sound experts to evaluate the various mitigation strategies. 

Marathon has indicated they intend to provide further updates when possible, and they have stated that they have no current plans to expand their mining capacity in Hood County or the site footprint.

Constellation takes a safety-first approach in our culture and business practices. All Constellation generation facilities employ sophisticated emergency response plans to protect public health and safety. Plans are reviewed and approved by state governments and federal regulatory agencies. Emergency planning includes coordination with local and municipal officials, as well as thousands of volunteers and first responders.

To protect the safety and health of our employees, contractors, customers, and communities, we've implemented a number of initiatives to promote safe behaviors both on and off the job. These include a safety behavior observation program and focused initiatives on areas of high risk. We also offer safety training, which is integrated with leadership development programs for supervisors and managers, as well as new employee orientation. Finally, a safety peer group identifies successful pilot programs or new practices that can then be adopted by the entire organization.

Wolf Hollow II Generating Station pays local real estate taxes totaling about $1.9 million every year to support county and township government, area schools, libraries, park districts and other public services.
