Power and Infrastructure Planning for Data Centers Nationwide
Data centers and cryptocurrency mining operations require substantial power and infrastructure. Wetsel & Lederle, LLP, advises clients throughout Texas and nationwide on the legal aspects of power and infrastructure planning, including coordination with utilities, regulatory compliance, transmission and interconnection considerations, and site selection issues impacting power availability.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Interconnection Agreements
The firm assists data center and cryptocurrency mining clients across the United States with negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and interconnection agreements to secure reliable and cost-effective energy supplies.

Easements, Access, and Title Issues
Clear title and access are essential for successful data center and crypto mining development. Wetsel & Lederle, LLP, conducts thorough title examinations, identifies and resolves title defects, and negotiates access, transmission, and utility easements to ensure clients have the legal rights necessary to develop and operate projects nationwide.
Mineral Rights Considerations for Data Center and Crypto Mining Development
In Texas and many other states, mineral rights may be severed from surface rights, making mineral ownership a critical consideration when leasing or selling land for data center or cryptocurrency mining facilities. These projects rely heavily on surface use and may be affected by a dominant mineral estate.
Wetsel & Lederle, LLP, advises clients on mineral accommodation, surface use protections, and how mineral ownership may impact development in Texas and in other jurisdictions, where laws governing mineral and surface rights can vary significantly by jurisdiction.
