Third Generating Unit Under Construction at Buchanan Dam
A third hydroelectric unit is under construction at Buchanan Dam, adding 18,767 horsepower and expected to be wired for use in early 1950. The expansion, funded by $3,050,000 revenue bonds, seeks to boost LCRA output for Central Texas customers and raise bond issuance limits. This project includes a pumping unit to move water back to Lake Buchanan, extending the powerhouse and tying into plans for two more dams and future generating facilities.
