LandBridge enters pact with NRG Energy to power potential Texas data center

LandBridge (LB) announced that it has entered into a strategic agreement with NRG Energy (NRG) with respect to a potential data center site in Reeves County, Texas, in the Delaware Basin. The site could potentially house a 1,100 MW, grid-connected natural gas power generation facility, which NRG could construct if an appropriate power purchase agreement for a data center is secured. Initial air permit applications and electric interconnection requests have been submitted, which would allow for an in-service date as early as year-end 2029, if the project moves forward.
