The Victoria County Station is a proposed two-unit nuclear power plant, in Victoria County, Texas. If built, the facility would occupy an convert|11500|acre|km2|adj=on site in McFaddin, an unincorporated community south of Victoria. Plant structures would occupy about convert|300|acre and a man-made lake for plant cooling would cover about convert|4900|acre|km2.

Exelon filed the Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application for the plant on September 3, 2008 with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). If built, the plant would comprise two GE–Hitachi Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactors (ESBWRs) which between them would generate over 3,000 MWe. The model is currently in the process of design certification by the NRC.cite web
