The acreage is close to the Waha natural gas hub in northern Reeves County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement enables PowerBridge to further advance site development activities and pursue entitlements for the Alpha Digital Campus. The first power delivery date for the site is expected in 2027, with large scale power generation following in 2028, subject to ongoing regulatory processes and commercial discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/data-center-development-still-humming-for-now\/\">Data Center Development Still Humming\u2014For Now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>PowerBridge CEO Alex Hernandez stated that the firm is developing a regional fiber conduit network, adding, \u201cOur powered campus infrastructure will provide customers with \u2018pad-ready\u2019 campuses for multi-gigawatt vertical data center deployments that meet the pace and magnitude of hyperscaler customer requirements at Alpha Digital and other locations across West Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LandBridge CEO Jason Long remarked, \u201cWest 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of note, both companies were backed by Five Point, an infrastructure-focused private equity firm based in Houston. While Five Point is privately held, LandBridge went public in 2024. PowerBridge was launched in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-search-for-guaranteed-power\">The search for guaranteed power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/whos-funding-the-data-center-boom\/\">recent round-up on data center development<\/a>, the industry leaders who spoke with <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em> described how guaranteeing having enough electrical power for new data center projects has become an increasing priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackstone, for example, plans to invest heavily in power grids and colocation of power generation with data centers. Projects like this include a $4.65 billion data center in Germany, a $1.2 billion AI infrastructure platform in India and expansion of a $13.97 billion commitment in Aragon, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Blackstone is financing major deals for power infrastructure, allowing its data center projects to sidestep utility delays with a \u201cbring your own power\u201d model. This element includes Blackstone\u2019s $11.5 billion acquisition of TXNM Energy and a joint venture with PPL Corp. to build dedicated generation for hyperscalers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This development could encompass 3,400 acres in West Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004794239,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21755,21782,21742,51973],"tags":[52831],"class_list":["post-1004794230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","category-development","category-latest","category-southwest","tag-five-point-infrastructure"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PowerBridge Eyes 2 GW Data Center Campus - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PowerBridge LLC has entered into a lease agreement with LandBridge Co.
