ProPetro's PROPWR Lands 230 MW Targa Permian Power Deal

ProPetro's PROPWR Lands 230 MW Targa Permian Power Deal

ProPetro’s PROPWR business signed long-term contracts to supply about 230 megawatts of behind-the-meter power for a Targa Resources subsidiary’s Permian Basin gas processing infrastructure, Permian Basin Oil & Gas Magazine reports.

Deal Details

Midland-based ProPetro said full deployment of the capacity is expected by early 2028. The new agreements bring PROPWR’s total contracted capacity to about 510 megawatts, according to the magazine.

ProPetro CEO Sam Sledge said Sept. 22 that the contracts reflect “significant and growing demand for reliable, behind-the-meter power across the energy value chain” and the role midstream infrastructure plays in moving Permian gas to end markets. He called the deal “the start of a durable partnership” and said ProPetro expects to be a power provider to Targa “for many years to come as they continue to expand their infrastructure footprint.”

The report does not give a contract value, term length, site locations, equipment type, or phasing. It also does not say who will build or maintain the installations.

What It Means for Subcontractors

• Schedule: The only schedule date in the report is full deployment by early 2028. No interim milestones are named, so the timing of site work is unknown. Inference: construction and commissioning work would likely fall between now and that date.
• Scope is not in the report: The magazine does not describe pads, electrical tie-ins, fuel-gas lines, or operations and maintenance. Inference: behind-the-meter generation at gas plants typically involves civil and pad work, electrical and instrumentation, fuel-gas piping, and ongoing O&M. Civil, electrical, E&I, and pipefitting contractors should treat those as likely packages, not confirmed ones.
• Procurement stage is unclear: The report names no EPC contractor, GC, or open subcontract packages. PROPWR holds the contracts, so it is the logical first contact for prequalification. That is inference, not a reported bid process.
• Recurring work: Sledge’s reference to serving Targa “for many years” points to long-term service. Inference: O&M and fuel-gas support could be recurring revenue, but the report gives no contract terms to price against.
• Capacity math: At about 510 MW total, the new 230 MW implies roughly 280 MW was already contracted before this deal. That is arithmetic from the reported figures, and the magazine does not say where that earlier capacity sits.

Confirm scope, site locations, and package timing directly with ProPetro before committing crews or equipment to this work.
