The Kerrville Public Utility Board (KPUB) has selected newly rebranded Everllence (MAN Energy Solutions) to supply six 18V51/60G gas engines, providing a total capacity of 124 MW.

The gas engines are used in a peak-load power plant in Texas that increases grid stability. It provides fast and flexible power during periods of high demand and when other sources are unavailable.

KPUB is a municipal utility that supplies electricity to over 24,000 customers in Kerrville and the surrounding area.

“We’re proud of the experienced team we’ve assembled for this project, with Everllence serving as its foundation,” says Mike Wittler – KPUB General Manager and CEO. “This partnership strengthens our ability to protect our ratepayers and continue offering some of the lowest electric rates in Texas for decades to come.”

Everllence will also provide engine’ and plant-specific systems and components and will handle the transport of the engines to the site. The project was selected in the first group of applications for potential support through the Texas Energy Fund (TEF) and is undergoing the fund’s due diligence process.

The TEF provides financing for gas-fired power generation projects across the state. Everllence has supported KPUB throughout the application process and continues to assist during the review phase. The engines are scheduled for delivery in mid-2026, with operation starting in 2027.
