Located in north Abilene, Texas, this 30.275± acre industrial property offers an opportunity for energy infrastructure development, power generation, battery energy storage, and other power-intensive industrial operations. Directly adjacent to an existing AEP Texas 69 kV electrical substation, the property features approximately 25 usable acres, two existing natural gas connections designed for large-scale industrial consumption, and usable underground water storage tanks.
Formerly part of the Pride Refining industrial complex, the property is situated within an established industrial area near US Highway 83. The combination of electrical substation adjacency, natural gas infrastructure, existing water storage, and usable industrial acreage creates an opportunity for companies seeking to develop energy-related facilities in West Texas.
One of the property's most significant advantages is its direct adjacency to an AEP Texas 69 kV electrical substation. This location provides developers with an opportunity to evaluate potential grid interconnection, electrical service, and power distribution requirements.
In addition to the adjacent substation, the property has two existing natural gas connections intended for large-scale industrial use. These connections may be particularly valuable to companies evaluating natural gas-fired power generation, distributed energy facilities, behind-the-meter generation, and industrial operations requiring substantial natural gas supplies.
The combination of natural gas and electrical infrastructure provides potential flexibility for projects involving on-site power generation, grid-connected energy facilities, or operations requiring both fuel and electricity.
Natural Gas Power Generation
The property's two existing natural gas connections and proximity to the AEP Texas substation make it a candidate for natural gas-fired power generation facilities. Potential applications include reciprocating engine power plants, gas turbine generation, distributed generation, and behind-the-meter power production.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Direct adjacency to the 69 kV substation provides an opportunity for developers to evaluate utility-scale battery storage projects. Potential applications include grid-connected energy storage, energy management, grid stabilization, and participation in ERCOT electricity markets.
Data Centers & High-Demand Computing
The property offers potential for modular data centers, edge computing facilities, and other electricity-intensive operations. The existing natural gas connections may also provide opportunities to evaluate dedicated on-site power generation for facilities requiring substantial electrical capacity.
Utility & Industrial Infrastructure
Additional potential uses include electrical switching facilities, transformer installations, substation expansion, energy-related manufacturing, industrial processing, and other operations requiring proximity to electrical and natural gas infrastructure.
A RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) has been completed on the property and found no contamination. This is an important consideration for developers and investors evaluating the redevelopment of a former industrial refining site.
The completed investigation provides valuable environmental due diligence information for prospective buyers considering the property's reuse for modern energy infrastructure and industrial development.
The property includes usable underground water storage tanks remaining from its previous industrial operations. These tanks may provide additional value for power generation, industrial processes, and other operations requiring water storage.
The ability to evaluate the reuse of existing water storage infrastructure offers another potential advantage for developers seeking to minimize new infrastructure construction.
The property consists of 30.275± total acres, equivalent to approximately 1,318,779 square feet, with approximately 25 usable acres. Its configuration and existing industrial improvements provide opportunities for redevelopment planning, equipment installations, access roads, and supporting infrastructure.
Located near US Highway 83 in north Abilene, the property is surrounded by established industrial operations. Its location within an existing industrial corridor provides an alternative to developing previously undeveloped rural acreage for energy infrastructure.
Industrial properties combining electrical substation adjacency, existing natural gas connections, and usable acreage offer developers an opportunity to evaluate multiple energy infrastructure applications on a single site.
This 30.275± acre property provides a combination of features for investors and developers considering natural gas power generation, battery storage, data centers, and other industrial energy projects in the West Texas market.
The property's defining advantages are its direct adjacency to an AEP Texas 69 kV substation, two existing large-scale natural gas connections, approximately 25 usable acres, existing underground water storage, and completed environmental investigation finding no contamination.
