Falcon Dam & Power: FAQ

Where is Falcon Dam & Power?
In Starr County, Texas (TX). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.
How big is Falcon Dam & Power?
32 MW of nameplate capacity across 3 units, as of the EIA-860M release for 2026-07.
Who owns Falcon Dam & Power?
EIA-860M names International Bound & Wtr Comm as the reporting entity. That is the operator of record on the survey, which is not always the ultimate owner.
Is this the same as Falcon Dam & Power LLC?
Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — International Bound & Wtr Comm here — not the project company that holds the asset. Project companies are commonly registered as an LLC carrying the plant's name, so a search for "Falcon Dam & Power LLC" usually means this site. This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
Is Falcon Dam & Power still running?
