Origis energy has brought three Swift Air Solar facilities online in Texas. The energy infrastructure will support Occidental’s operations in West Texas, including its own STRATOS Direct Air Capture facility.
Origis planned, developed and built the Swift Air Solar facilities in three phases, with the final phase completed in late 2025. Collectively, these solar projects will represent more than $650 million in infrastructure investments in Ector County and West Texas.
“We are proud of our partnership with Occidental, an industry leader with unparalleled technical depth and a long track record of innovation. Oxy’s STRATOS facility is a leading example of the infrastructure America needs to secure its energy ambitions for the 21st century,” said Vikas Anand, Chief Executive Officer of Origis Energy. “And the Swift Air 500-MWdc facilities exemplify Origis Energy’s strengths in expertise, innovation and reliable execution.”
“New energy facilities are essential to unlocking the full potential of the Permian Basin’s resources,” said Joe Lavoy, vice president of Oxy Low Carbon Ventures. “By working with Origis Energy to secure power from these new purpose-built solar facilities, we can even better help meet growing energy needs, while also contributing to the advancement of large-scale Direct Air Capture technology.”
