TCEQ canceled the Carson County public meeting on Fermi Equipment Holdco's new air permits and says it will be rescheduled
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality had scheduled a public meeting for August 24th, 2026 at the Panhandle High School Auditorium. It concerns proposed new air quality permits for Fermi Equipment Holdco, LLC. The agency posted a cancelation and stated the meeting will be rescheduled for a later date. The application covers a state new source review permit plus prevention of significant deterioration and greenhouse gas PSD permits. That is the permit family a large behind the meter generating plant needs. The site is in Carson County in the Texas Panhandle, which sits outside ERCOT.
