Texarkana, USA (October 21, 2025) – TexAmericas Center, which owns and operates the 5th ranked industrial park and is one of the largest mixed-use industrial parks in the United States, today announced an exclusive marketing agreement with Outlier Energy of Austin, Texas to develop on-site power generation for commercial and industrial customers planning energy-intensive facilities.
Through this agreement, TexAmericas Center and Outlier Energy will deliver cost-competitive, highly reliable, utility-scale power that is sized and scheduled to each customer’s needs. The offering is purpose-built for data centers and industrial manufacturers that require substantial on-site capacity on the TexAmericas Center campus, creating a clear path from site selection to energized operations and supporting Speed-To-Occupancy and Speed-To-Market.
“Power is a critical box to check for our customers, and the ability Outlier Energy offers to size a dedicated plant for each project is a game changer for turning sites into job-producing industrial and commercial operations,” said Eric Voyles, executive vice president and chief economic development officer at TexAmericas Center. “While every customer will consult the public utility on availability and timing during due diligence, Outlier can deliver the capacity they need, when they need it, at a cost that makes sense – especially for time-sensitive projects.”
The partnership gives large power users a second path to electricity that works alongside the local utility and shortens timelines.
“Companies locating at TexAmericas Center that need tens or hundreds of megawatts, and in some cases thermal energy, now have a third-party private power option that meets their schedule,” said Scott Norton, CEO and executive director of TexAmericas Center. “In many cases, it may also be more economical and environmentally cleaner than the public grid.”
Outlier Energy is technology-agnostic and can deploy and operate a range of equipment, including utility-scale combined-cycle turbines, large reciprocating engines, microturbines, and fuel cells. “Technology selection is entirely based on each customer’s requirements,” said Marshall Hammond, partner at Outlier Energy. “We work with each customer to balance speed of deployment, cost, and availability to identify an ideal electrical solution based on each client’s individual needs.”
When on-site power is required, particularly without grid backup, rigorous system design is essential. Outlier Energy builds reliability into standalone systems by using many relatively small generators instead of a single unit or a few large ones. This modular design allows remaining units to carry the load during maintenance or outages. Switchgear and transformer pairings are engineered to isolate equipment and support planned work throughout the project lifecycle. The result is resilient, low-emission, rapidly deployed, data center–grade power with leading flexibility in siting, scope, load profiles, and fuel options.

About TexAmericas Center
Located on the Texas side of the Texarkana metropolitan area, TexAmericas Center owns and operates
a premier industrial park, which is one of the largest mixed-use industrial parks in the United States. With
roughly 12,000 development-ready acres of land and approximately 3.5 million square feet of commercial
and industrial product, TexAmericas Center services four states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and
Texas). As the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) over all development processes on the property,
TexAmericas Center helps companies save 12 to 18 months of public review time, leading to faster
Speed-To-Occupancy, Speed-To-Market and Speed -To-Profit.
For six consecutive years, Business Facilities magazine has ranked TexAmericas Center among the top
10 industrial parks in the country, most recently ranked No. 5 in 2025. Tenants appreciate an impressive
transportation corridor that uses multiple state highways, interstates, air freight, and rail lines to disperse
from a central U.S. location. Additionally, Expansion Solutions has recognized TexAmericas Center’s
QSP (Qualified Site Program) as the No. 1 certified site program in the Southern U.S.
In addition to three interstates, seven rail lines converge on the Texarkana region and TexAmericas
Center hosts an on-site 350-car rail yard and has over 30-miles of rail running through its properties. TAC
Rail services include transload as well as rail car storage and spotting. TexAmericas Center has been
added to Union Pacific’s Focus Sites Program, becoming one of only 32 sites in the U.S. to receive this
prestigious designation. TexAmericas Center also offers third-party logistics (3PL) services to assist
companies with inventory management, warehousing, and fulfillment needs. Combining a “Flex Lease”
with 3PL services gives companies seeking to expand or make first-time investment in the region an
easier path to start operations.
The organization completed construction on a 150,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art speculative building in
2021; the building was sold in 2022. In total, the organization has built and transacted over 240,000 sq.
ft. in three spec projects. TexAmericas Center has the capability to lease, build-to-suit, or facilitate
greenfield owner-constructed projects in a timely, efficient manner.
All of TexAmericas Center’s property is a designated US Opportunity Zone, New Market Tax Credit
Census Tract, EB5 – Immigration through Investment area, Foreign Trade Zone (#258), and a Texas
Enterprise Zone. TexAmericas Center has the operating capabilities of a municipality but functions like a
traditional real estate development company, offering customized real estate, logistics, incentive and
financing solutions.
