Power and Texas come together at the Texas Municipal Power Agency, which provides electricity generation and transmission services to four municipal utilities (Bryan, Denton, Garland, and Greenville). The joint powers agency, which was created in 1975 by its member cities, owns and operates the 462-MW Gibbons Creek power plant and related transmission assets. In the wake of the oil embargo the early 1970s, the Texas Legislature created joint powers agencies that could perform all the duties of utilities except sell power to non-members. Bryan, Denton, Garland, and Greenville then formed the Texas Municipal Power Agency and harnessed locally available lignite to fuel a power generation plant.
