About Tobosa
Building digital infrastructure that powers AI.
Tobosa is a land, power, and infrastructure development platform. We identify strategically advantaged land and bring together the critical elements required to transform it into institutional-scale infrastructure: land control, power generation and utility solutions, natural gas, water, connectivity, permitting, development partners, and capital.
The name
A name written into the land itself.
Tobosa is embedded in the Permian Basin on three levels. Beneath the land, the ancient Tobosa Basin was the geological foundation from which today's Delaware and Midland Basins — the modern Permian Basin — ultimately emerged. Across the land, native tobosa grass (Pleuraphis mutica) has endured for centuries in the demanding Trans-Pecos landscape. And from the land comes the opportunity Tobosa pursues today: developing the power and infrastructure that will define the Permian's next chapter. The name reflects the character of the region — resilience, resourcefulness, land, and energy.
Our mission
Solve the infrastructure constraints limiting the growth of AI.
As access to reliable power and development-ready land becomes increasingly scarce, Tobosa is focused on creating differentiated projects that deliver power at scale, accelerate time-to-market, and provide customers with the flexibility to grow — the result: purpose-built AI campuses with behind-the-meter power designed to scale into multi-gigawatt demand.
Our focus
Infrastructure for the companies building AI.
Tobosa develops large-scale infrastructure for hyperscalers, frontier AI companies, neoclouds, and data center operators. Our integrated model brings land, power, water, connectivity, permitting, development, and capital together—de-risking the critical infrastructure required to move projects from site control through operational delivery.
Our direction
Focused on the Permian Basin.
Tobosa is primarily focused on the Permian Basin in West Texas — a region with abundant natural gas, available land, and a century of energy infrastructure and expertise. Here, access to land, power, and gas creates a durable advantage for large-scale development. As the platform grows, we will expand selectively wherever the same advantages can be replicated.
Leadership
Built by operators. Proven at scale.
Tobosa is led by experienced operators who have developed, financed, and scaled critical infrastructure across the global energy and technology sectors. From LNG export facilities and power generation to hyperscale compute and AI infrastructure, our leadership brings the technical expertise, commercial experience, and proven execution required to turn complex, multibillion-dollar developments into operational assets.
