GenTex Power Corporation, a wholly owned LCRA affiliate, oversaw the planning and construction of Lost Pines 1 Power Project, a 545-megawatt combined-cycle power plant in Bastrop County.

In 1999, GenTex announced the construction of the natural gas-fired plant with Calpine Corporation, a California-based independent power producer. Lost Pines 1 began producing power in May 2001. Until January 2004, Calpine shared ownership of the plant with GenTex.

The nine-member GenTex Board continues to approve the plant's annual operation and maintenance budget and monitor activities at Lost Pines 1.
