If a utility holds a transmission line easement across your Texas land, or has approached you about one, the land may qualify for a direct purchase by Maverick Energy Partners. Free screen.
If a utility holds a transmission easement across your land, or has contacted you about acquiring one for a new line, that is one of the strongest signals we look for. It means high-voltage infrastructure is either on the property or coming. Landowners often treat the easement as a burden. For a large-load developer it is the reason to buy.
Utilities file proposed transmission routes with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and landowners along a route receive notice. If you have received one, the land is worth a conversation before the line is built.
We know what a 100- to 200-foot easement does to a site layout and we account for it. The remaining developable ground is what we buy.
Whatever the utility paid, or will pay, for the easement is yours. A sale of the land to us is a separate transaction.
Easements from the 1950s through the 1980s are sometimes vaguely described. We handle the title work to clarify them as part of our diligence.
Most landowners have no way to know whether their property has real value to a data center developer, because that depends on grid capacity most people never look at. These are the signals that usually mean it is worth a conversation.
Location, acreage, and anything you know about power lines or prior utility contact. Five minutes by email.
We check grid capacity, title, floodplain and zoning ourselves using public records. If it does not fit, we tell you within the week and say why.
No listing, no showings, no marketing period. Terms are usually a short paid option period followed by a cash closing.
We handle title. Closing costs are negotiated up front. You are not carrying diligence risk; we are.
Respond to the utility on their timeline, and separately tell us where the land is. A proposed 345 kV route across or beside a tract can make it a data center candidate before the line is even energized.
It reduces the developable acreage, which we account for, but the presence of transmission usually raises the value of the remaining land more than the easement reduces it.
Easement payments already received are yours. Future easement payments generally run with the land, and that is a term we can negotiate.
Start by telling us where the land is and what you know about nearby transmission infrastructure. You do not need to know the voltage or ownership. We do that research ourselves using ERCOT, utility and county records, then tell you honestly whether it is a fit and what it might be worth.
No. We buy directly from landowners and brokers alike. If you already have a broker, we are glad to work with them. If you do not, you do not need to hire one to talk to us.
Proximity to a substation or transmission line is the headline, but the real driver is whether that substation has spare capacity to accept new load. Most nearby substations in Texas do not. Parcel size, shape, flood zone, water access and zoning also matter. We screen for all of it before making an offer.
Once we have confirmed the site fits, terms are usually a short paid option period of 60 to 180 days to finish utility and title diligence, followed by a cash closing. We move as fast as the utility and title work allow.
Start with the property address. If the land has no street address, the nearest road and cross street, a county appraisal district parcel number, or GPS coordinates all work just as well. We will identify the substation, check capacity and title from public records, and tell you whether it fits.
