LandBridge has announced an agreement with PowerBridge for the development of a 2 GW powered data center campus. The agreement provides the option to lease acreage for the development close to the Waha natural gas hub.
Around 3,400 acres in Reeves County are earmarked for the data center campus – with the lease development agreement granting PowerBridge the right to further advance site development activities, pursue entitlements for PowerBridge and its partners( Alpha Digital Campus) and an ability to lease the property on a long-term basis for the development of campus digital infrastructure and associated power solutions to serve data center customers at scale.
The first power delivery date for the Alpha Digital Campus is anticipated in 2027 with large scale power generation following in 2028 – subject to ongoing regulatory processes and commercial discussions.
Jason Long, CEO, LandBridge, said:“ This new agreement with PowerBridge represents a catalyst for executing on the West Texas data center thesis with a proven developer with a strong track record of power and data center execution at scale. West Texas is primed to accommodate growing data center demand through its vast, contiguous surface availability, attractive natural gas dynamics, significant water availability and favorable grid outlook and permitting timeline – among other enablers.“
LandBridge owns or manages more than 320,000 surface acres across Texas and New Mexico, located primarily in the heart of the Delaware sub-region in the Permian Basin, the most active region for oil and gas exploration and development in the United States.
