# Permian Basin energy infrastructure expansion > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/permian-basin-energy-infrastructure-expansion > Updated: 2026-09-04T18:45:56.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Infrastructure development in the Permian Basin is expanding to support natural gas processing, water management, and rising electricity demands. Initial developments focused on midstream capacity and resource management. Targa Resources announced plans for three natural gas processing plants and a 70-mile pipeline in the Delaware Basin, aiming for a combined capacity of 825 million cubic feet per day by 2028. Concurrently, efforts to manage produced water increased, with Texas Pacific Land and Texas Pacific Water Resources opening a facility in Orla to repurpose treated water for agriculture and construction. Subsequent developments have addressed the region's growing power requirements. The Public Utility Commission of Texas approved the first phase of a $14 billion power grid expansion, involving 424 miles of high-voltage transmission lines to support oil and gas operations. Additionally, Net Power Inc. moved to increase gas-fired generation capacity through its Project Permian, adding 123 MW of potential capacity to the development. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Permian Basin energy infrastructure expands via grid upgrades and new gas generation Texas regulators approved the first routes for a $14 billion Permian Basin grid expansion, while Net Power Inc. committed $20 million to add gas generation capacity to its Project Permian development. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/permian-basin-energy-infrastructure-expands-via-grid-upgrades-and-new-gas-generation ### 2026-08-17: Permian Basin infrastructure expands with new gas plants and water management efforts Targa Resources is expanding Permian Basin gas infrastructure with new plants and a pipeline, while industry leaders implement new technologies to manage rising volumes of produced water. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/permian-basin-infrastructure-expands-with-new-gas-plants-and-water-management-efforts --- Cite as: Permian Basin energy infrastructure expansion.
