Origis Energy has completed and commissioned its three Swift Air Solar facilities in Texas to support Occidental’s operations in West Texas.
The company said the phased development was finalised in late 2025 and represents more than $650m of infrastructure investment in Ector County and West Texas.
It added that the energy infrastructure will also support Occidental’s Stratos direct air capture facility.
“We are proud of our partnership with Occidental, an industry leader with unparalleled technical depth and a long track-record of innovation,” said Vikas Anand, chief executive officer of Origis Energy.
“Oxy’s STRATOS facility is a leading example of infrastructure that America needs to secure its energy ambitions for the 21st century,” he stated.
He added: “And, the Swift Air 500 MWdc facilities are an example of Origis Energy’s strengths of expertise, innovation and reliable execution.”
“New power facilities are essential to unlock the full potential of the Permian Basin’s resources,” said Joe Lavoy, vice president, Oxy Low Carbon Ventures.
He commented: “Collaborating with Origis Energy to secure power from these new purpose-built solar facilities further positions us to help meet growing energy needs, while also serving to help advance large scale Direct Air Capture technology.”
