Is your land worth more with power next to it?

For landowners

Data center developers pay for land that can get a large electricity connection soon. Some farms and ranches sit right next to that kind of infrastructure without the owner knowing it matters. Tell us about yours and we will find out.

What happens after you send it

  1. A person reads it. Not a bot, not a mailing list. We reply by email, usually with a couple of questions.
  2. We look at the grid around you. Nearby substations, transmission lines, the utility, whether the local area has paused new data centers, water and fiber. We tell you what we find, including when the answer is "not a data center site".
  3. If it fits, we ask before we show it to anyone. You decide which developers may see the parcel, and you can say no at any point.
  4. Offers go to you. You negotiate with your own lawyer or broker. We help with the technical questions developers ask (load, timeline, studies).

1. Where is the land?

Roughly is fine. We don't need a street address at this stage.

2. The parcel
Add the zoning if you know it (for example agricultural or light industrial).
Your connection to the land
3. Power nearby

Fill in only what you know. "Don't know" is a perfectly good answer — finding out is part of our job.

4. Water, fiber and timing
When could you sell or lease?
5. How do we reach you?

No fee to submit. Your details go to a person, not a mailing list. Privacy.

Questions owners ask

Does it cost anything to list my land?

No. Submitting land is free and creates no obligation. We are paid only if a sale or lease closes, under a fee agreement put in writing before any introduction.

Will my parcel be published on the website?

No. We do not publish parcels, maps or owner names. A developer sees your land only after you have agreed in writing to that specific introduction.

I do not know where the nearest substation is. Can I still submit?

Yes. Most owners do not know the voltage or capacity of nearby lines. Give us the location and acreage and we look up the grid situation ourselves.

What size of parcel is worth submitting?

Campus developers usually look for large contiguous parcels, but smaller sites next to a substation can work for edge facilities or as part of an assembly with neighbours. Send it and we will tell you honestly.
