Overview
As part of our long-term energy and infrastructure strategy, Smartland Energy is issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to identify and acquire strategically located land parcels for the phased development of behind-the-meter power generation facilities. These facilities are intended to directly serve data centers, crypto mining operations, and heavy industrial users, significantly enhancing local economic development and energy security.
Smartland Energy is actively seeking proposals for land parcels to develop three distinct behind-the-meter power generation projects: a 100 MW RICE facility, a 300 MW scalable RICE facility, and a 600 MW gas turbine combined cycle plant. Proposals must demonstrate land suitability, infrastructure readiness, and proximity to potential behind-the-meter consumers to optimize operational efficiency and economic impact.
Request for Proposal: Land for 100 MW Behind-the-Meter Power Generation
Smartland Energy seeks proposals for suitable land parcels to host a 100 MW behind-the-meter power generation facility. This facility will supply power directly to adjacent data centers, cryptocurrency mining operations, and heavy industrial users. Proximity to existing or planned behind-the-meter consumers significantly enhances site attractiveness.
1. Project Overview
Smartland Energy intends to establish behind-the-meter power generation infrastructure tailored specifically for large-scale industrial and technological consumers, becoming a catalyst for regional economic development.
2. Site Requirements
Proposed sites must meet or exceed the following criteria:
| Specification | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Minimum Land Area | 75 contiguous acres |
| Gas Supply Capacity | 17,000 dekatherms/day |
| Water Availability | 140,000 gallons/day |
| Proximity to Gas Infrastructure | Adjacent or near major natural gas transmission pipelines |
| Water Sources | Municipal, natural water bodies, or reclaimed water (e.g., from abandoned mines) |
| Zoning | Industrial or compatible zoning preferred |
| Environmental Considerations | Minimal wetland impact; wetlands delineation required |
3. Infrastructure Considerations
Proposals must detail existing infrastructure or pathways for infrastructure development, including:
- Road access suitable for heavy equipment transport
- Natural gas pipeline capacity and available connection points (with pipeline operators identified)
- Electrical infrastructure and interconnection feasibility
- Sustainable water sourcing options (detail sourcing method and permits if applicable)
- Environmental assessment (Phase I required; Phase II if necessary)
4. Submission Requirements
Proposals should include:
- Site location, maps, and detailed parcel information
- Current zoning and land-use status
- Verification of gas and water availability
- Detailed proximity to infrastructure (gas pipelines, electric transmission, water sources)
- Information on local economic incentives or support available
- Environmental documentation (Phase I ESA, wetlands delineation)
- Contact details for local gas providers and utility services
- Proximity to existing or planned data centers, cryptocurrency mining operations, or heavy manufacturing facilities (adjacent sites preferred)
