The oil and gas industry is facing an unprecedented challenge: the electrical grid cannot keep pace with its soaring power demands. As drilling operations expand and electrification accelerates, grid capacity in key regions like the Permian Basin is being stretched to its limits. This imbalance threatens production timelines, operational reliability, and long-term growth.
