Land Acquisition Program

Power-Entitled Land
Across 9 Strategic States

Sourcerock Energy Production acquires strategic land across 9 states and 17 target areas in ERCOT, MISO South, PJM, and Southern Company grid markets. We target sites with gas pipeline access, transmission proximity, and water availability — entitling raw land into power-ready, shovel-ready datacenter sites.
The Opportunity

Why Power Is the Bottleneck

Power-entitled land is the scarcest resource in data center development. Sites with grid access, gas supply, and development readiness command 2-3x premiums.

The Constraint

60% of datacenter projects delayed 1-3 years due to grid interconnection queues and utility backlogs across the country

35 GW of new capacity needed by 2028 — AI training models require 10x the power of traditional servers

5-7 year permitting timelines for new transmission — hyperscalers are paying massive premiums for shovel-ready sites

Utilities turning away customers — Arizona's APS has 30 GW of datacenter requests against 8 GW peak capacity

Our Approach

Acquire land with existing power access — grid proximity, gas pipeline adjacency, or existing substation capacity

Entitle via behind-the-meter gas generation — operational in 12-24 months vs. 3-5+ years for grid interconnect

Flexible deal structures — outright purchase, partnership/JV, or hybrid arrangements with landowner upside

Exit at premium multiples — de-risked, entitled sites sell to hyperscalers and institutional developers at 2-3x cost

Acquisition Map

Target States by Acquisition Tier

17 target areas across 9 states in 4 grid markets — ranked by acquisition conviction based on gas supply access, BTM deployment potential, grid constraints, and datacenter demand fundamentals.
Texas | TIER 1
5 Target Areas
Permian Basin to Gulf Coast
Highest-conviction state. Five target locations spanning the Permian Basin, Abilene, Amarillo, DFW Metroplex, and the East Texas/Gulf Coast corridor. Datacenters now comprise 73% of ERCOT's 226 GW interconnection queue — making BTM gas generation the preferred power solution.
ERCOT · Deregulated BTM Gas Ready Highest Conviction
Louisiana | TIER 1
2 Target Areas
Perryville Hub & Gulf Coast Corridor
North Central Louisiana anchored by the Perryville Gas Hub — a major national gas trading center. South Louisiana corridor serves Gulf Coast data infrastructure demand. $10B+ in datacenter investment committed; state approved 2,260 MW of new gas turbines.
MISO South Perryville Hub $10B+ Anchored
Georgia | TIER 2
#2 DC Market
Atlanta Metro & Central Georgia
Georgia attracted $40B in datacenter investment in 2025, ranking #2 nationally. Atlanta absorbed 706 MW of net datacenter capacity in 2024 — a 39x year-over-year increase. Central Georgia corridors offer lower land costs with excellent fiber connectivity and Southern Company grid access.
Southern Company 706 MW Absorbed $40B Invested
Arizona | TIER 2
4.1 GW Planned
Phoenix / West Valley & Tucson
Metro Phoenix ranks #2 in North America for planned datacenter development with 4,154 MW in the pipeline. Target areas in the West Valley and Tucson/Southeast corridor where land cost and power access converge. Grid constraints drive premium pricing for BTM-entitled sites.
Western Grid Grid Constrained BTM Premium
Mississippi | TIER 3
$49B Committed
Northern & Southern MS Corridors
Mississippi has attracted approximately $49B in datacenter investment anchored by AWS and xAI. The state offers best-in-class incentive structures — up to 10 years of income tax rebates — making it one of the most cost-advantaged emerging markets in the country.
MISO South AWS + xAI Top Incentives
Alabama | TIER 3
Emerging Market
Northern Alabama & Tennessee Valley
Northern Alabama sits at the intersection of MISO South and Southern Company grids, offering low-cost power and growing hyperscaler interest. The Tennessee Valley corridor provides established industrial infrastructure, fiber connectivity, and abundant hydro and natural gas baseload.
Southern Company Low-Cost Power Grid Convergence
West Virginia | TIER 3
PJM Grid Access
Northern WV & Eastern Panhandle
West Virginia sits atop the Marcellus and Utica shale formations — offering direct BTM gas supply with no midstream gaps. PJM capacity prices at $329/MW/day are creating urgent demand for off-grid alternatives. Low land costs and gas adjacency create a compelling entry point.
PJM Marcellus Gas Low Land Cost
Pennsylvania | TIER 3
31% of US Gas
Western PA & Marcellus Core
Western Pennsylvania is the epicenter of Marcellus shale production — the largest gas formation in the US. PJM grid tightness ($329/MW/day capacity prices) makes BTM gas-to-power the preferred solution for incoming hyperscalers and colocation operators.
PJM Marcellus Core $329/MW/day PJM
Ohio | TIER 3
Utica Shale Access
Eastern OH (Utica) & Central Ohio
Eastern Ohio overlies the Utica shale, complementing Marcellus operations across the border in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Central Ohio's growing tech corridor and Columbus metro are attracting hyperscaler interest. PJM grid constraints reinforce the BTM gas advantage.

Ideal Site Profile

We actively acquire sites across all nine target states. If your property meets these criteria — or is close — we want to hear from you.

What We're Looking For

100 – 1,000+ acres of flat, buildable land with road access

Proximity to transmission — within 5 miles of a substation or high-voltage line

Natural gas pipeline access — adjacent to or near existing gathering/transmission infrastructure

Water access — municipal supply or well water for cooling systems

Zoning — industrial, agricultural, or unzoned land that can be entitled

What We Offer

Outright purchase — fair market value plus a premium for entitled or power-adjacent sites

Partnership / JV — ongoing revenue share with long-term landowner upside

Hybrid structures — upfront payment combined with participation in development value

Capital to close quickly — no financing contingencies, institutional-grade certainty

Transparent process — clear timelines from evaluation through close (typically 2-8 weeks)
