The Permian Basin is an economic powerhouse in Texas and the most productive energy region on earth. Although our impact is critical to the state, West Texas has operated under power constraints because adequate transmission infrastructure has not kept pace with our region’s growing demand.

For many years, Diamondback has been part of the conversation. The case for transmission build-out extends well beyond the energy sector. Electricity demand is rising, and regional use is projected to more than double within the next decade. Nearly half of this projected growth comes from sources beyond oil and gas operations, including commercial development and a growing population. No region matters more to the future of Texas or the security of our nation. To learn more, visit PowerWestTexas.com.
