1.2 GW Natural Gas Power Generation Facility
Project Crooked Tree is a strategic 1,500-acre land opportunity positioned 15 miles north of Abilene, Texas. The project mirrors Parker with a 1.2 GW solid oxide fuel cell natural gas power generation facility, providing reliable baseload power capacity for AI infrastructure development while creating significant land value arbitrage opportunities.
The property benefits from strategic positioning and existing infrastructure that supports large-scale energy development:
15 miles north of Abilene with 1,500 acres of valuable frontage
1,500 acres available for acquisition and development
All-weather utilities with gas line access 5 miles away
15 acres designated for primary development
Crooked Tree is positioned as an energy infrastructure and land value creation opportunity, with a comprehensive strategy combining Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) natural gas power generation, energized land monetization, and recurring power revenue streams. The property's 1,500 acres provide capacity for power generation infrastructure with strategic deployment potential.
