LandBridge Co. has completed the sale of a 3,000-acre solar project in Reeves County, Texas, marking its first renewable venture on Permian Basin acreage. The photovoltaic project, with a planned generation capacity of up to 250 megawatts (MW), was acquired by an unnamed U.S. energy infrastructure developer, according to an Oct. 9 company release.
Why It Matters
The transaction underscores a growing trend of renewable integration in oilfield regions, as energy developers seek to meet rising Permian power demand through local solar generation.
-
Energy transition in motion – LandBridge, traditionally focused on surface ownership and midstream access, is now leveraging its acreage for renewable development opportunities.
-
Strategic location – Reeves County lies within the Delaware Basin, one of the most active oil-producing zones in North America, where power demand for drilling, processing, and AI-driven operations continues to grow.
-
Hybrid infrastructure outlook – The deal positions LandBridge acreage for future co-use between hydrocarbons, renewables, and supporting transmission infrastructure.
