Chevron Phillips Chemical Port Arthur Plant — Port Arthur, Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data identifies the Port Arthur Plant as a petrochemical facility operated by Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, with coordinates 29.8680, -93.9750, city precision, Operating status, and a 150 MW seed estimate. Its note provides historical and process context but explicitly labels the power figure as unconfirmed. The plant identity remains separate from nearby Motiva and other Port Arthur industrial facilities.
CPChem’s Port Arthur location page identifies the facility and its manufacturing history, including roots dating to a 1901 Gulf Oil refinery, an ethylene unit online since 1970, and products including ethylene, propylene, and cyclohexane. TCEQ’s current pending-application listing includes Chevron Phillips Chemical Port Arthur Facility, permit 21101, with an administrative-complete application received in November 2025. Permit processing confirms regulatory activity, not a total electrical-load figure or a change in operating capacity.
Chevron Phillips Chemical’s Port Arthur Plant answers an operator-and-location query without treating process scale as electrical load. Production units, feedstock, chemical throughput, emissions permits, and historical dates do not quantify grid demand. The 150 MW map data estimate remains under review, not a measured load; chemical output cannot be converted to MW, and permit status does not establish emergency or backup capability. Current utility service, critical-process load, onsite generation, and flexible load are unknown in reviewed evidence.
Questions
What does the Port Arthur Plant produce?
CPChem identifies ethylene, propylene, and cyclohexane among the products associated with the Port Arthur facility.
Does a TCEQ permit application establish electrical demand?
No. It establishes a regulatory record and application status, not a verified site-demand or flexible-load quantity.
Is TYPE3’s 150 MW verified?
No. It remains an unconfirmed estimate; no reviewed authoritative source publishes current electrical demand for the plant.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
