LandBridge, NRG Plan 1,100 MW Texas Data Center Power Hub

LandBridge Company LLC has entered into a strategic agreement with NRG Energy to explore the development of a potential data center site in Reeves County, Texas, within the Delaware Basin. The plan includes a potential 1,100 megawatt natural gas power plant that NRG may build if it secures a suitable power purchase agreement tied to data center operations. Initial air permit applications and electric interconnection requests have been submitted, with a possible in-service date as early as the end of 2029 if the project proceeds. LandBridge's land location adjacent to the Waha Gas market hub offers direct access to low-cost natural gas and transmission infrastructure, supporting future development. Both companies view the project as a step forward in regional economic resilience, grid stability, and data center growth. LandBridge shares have responded positively to the news in premarket trading, despite a year-to-date decline in share value.
