Net Power is developing behind-the-meter, natural gas-fired power generation to serve large loads at sites in West Texas, beginning with Project Permian, a ~1,800 MW project scheduled to reach commercial operation in phases starting in 4Q2027. Fuel gas is one of the project's most consequential and time-critical work streams.
