A campus-scale powered-land control opportunity in Solano County, California, near PG&E Vaca-Dixon and WAPA 500 kV infrastructure — structured for Phase 1 developer control, buyer-funded diligence, phased takedown, ground lease, or land-contribution JV.
Thinktanq controls a large Solano County land position with an approximately 3,100-acre core plus an approximately 1,000-acre expansion block, subject to APN, title, and GIS confirmation. The site is being organized into functional land roles for power interface, campus core, expansion, reserve capacity, mitigation, and strategic land banking.
The framing below is the public-page positioning. APN-level matrices, title source briefs, and GIS overlays are released only inside the NDA-gated diligence room.

|---|---|
| Location | Solano County, California · Northern California power corridor |
| Corridor | Vaca-Dixon regional infrastructure corridor |
| Land control | ~ 3,100-acre core + ~ 1,000-acre expansion block, subject to APN / title / GIS confirmation |
| Infrastructure context | Near PG&E Vaca-Dixon substation and WAPA 500 kV transmission infrastructure |
| Power-interface candidate | Fox Road / 153.68 acres |
| Campus-core planning area | Rio Dixon block |
| Expansion / reserve acreage | Yolano, Bulkley, Pomona / Pamona, and related acreage under reconciliation |
| Current posture | Early-control powered-land opportunity with diligence stack in motion In motion |
AI infrastructure demand has moved faster than utility interconnection, entitlement, transmission planning, transformer procurement, water and cooling strategy, and local land-use processes. The valuable asset is no longer acreage alone.
It is controlled time-to-power optionality: land, power-path diligence, title and easement clarity, entitlement strategy, site-readiness work, and a transaction structure that lets a serious developer or capital partner move before the position is fully de-risked.
Solano is the flagship expression of that thesis in Northern California.
The site is positioned near PG&E Vaca-Dixon and WAPA 500 kV infrastructure. The development thesis treats that adjacency as the starting point for diligence and converts it into a structured power-path workstream: PG&E, WAPA, CAISO, RMS, Rule 30, BTM, onsite generation, storage, utility process, interconnection constraints, and delivery timing.
Note · This page makes no claim that WAPA provides service rights. The corridor adjacency is framed as a diligence question, not a delivered product.
| Item | Current role | Diligence question |
|---|---|---|
| PG&E Vaca-Dixon | Major regional power infrastructure context | What utility service path, upgrades, timing, and process are supportable? |
| WAPA 500 kV infrastructure | Federal transmission adjacency | What, if any, tap, service, wheeling, or interconnection path is supportable? |
| CAISO / RMS / power modeling | Technical diligence | What scenarios, constraints, timelines, and costs emerge? |
| Rule 30 / large-load process | Utility process context | What can buyer-funded process accelerate or clarify? |
| BTM / onsite generation / BESS | Bridge-power optionality | What resilience structure is legal, financeable, and buyer-acceptable? |
Thinktanq is running a separate end-user capacity reservation surface to capture AI/HPC demand requirements. The goal is to convert tenant demand into a dated, anonymized book that a selected developer or capital partner can diligence and potentially inherit through a Phase 1 control or JV structure.
No buyer names. No logos. No cumulative MW until signed letters exist.
An anonymized AI/HPC demand book is maintained and updated. Counterparty-archetype, requested MW bands, and status are released inside the diligence room. Buyer names and logos remain confidential; only archetypes are disclosed.

The opportunity is organized into the diligence categories sophisticated developers and infrastructure capital actually underwrite: land control, title, easements, power path, entitlement, environmental, water, fiber, gas, road access, constructability, community risk, and transaction documents.
The preferred counterparty structure is not free exclusivity. Qualified parties can pursue control over a defined Phase 1 acreage block, with buyer-funded diligence, objective utility and entitlement milestones, and performance-gated expansion rights.
Developer seeking first control of a defined Phase 1 acreage block, with hard-money option consideration and milestone execution against objective gates.
Land control · diligence stack · expansion-right framework.
Hard-money option · diligence funding · milestone execution.
Developer or strategic buyer purchasing defined acreage blocks with performance-gated expansion rights and entitlement execution responsibility.
Defined acreage blocks · expansion rights.
Purchase economics · study funding · entitlement execution.
Long-duration operator taking the land position via rent economics, with seller retaining residual basis and expansion-path optionality.
Land control · expansion path.
Rent economics · infrastructure capex · operations.
Infrastructure capital or developer-capital partner contributing capital, development, power, entitlement, credit, and operating capability against seller's contributed land basis.
Land basis · control · demand book · diligence stack.
Capital · development · power · entitlement · credit.
For developers with execution capability but limited land-ownership appetite. Land is retained by seller and the counterparty delivers milestone-based services against a defined scope.

Thinktanq will prioritize counterparties that can convert the opportunity into a buyer-underwritable project, not simply quote the highest headline number.
Qualified parties are being screened privately. Formal dates will be provided to NDA-approved counterparties. Thinktanq reserves the right to convert to a formal dated process at its discretion.
Qualified parties can request access to the NDA-gated diligence room. Materials are released in stages based on counterparty fit, role, and transaction seriousness.
Staged release of diligence materials, gated by counterparty fit, role, and transaction posture. Public-page materials are open; sensitive matrices, easement documents, and transaction frameworks require NDA execution.
By requesting access to the diligence room, you acknowledge the following preamble. The standard mutual NDA will be transmitted for execution prior to release of any non-public materials.
All materials released under this engagement — including, without limitation, APN-level matrices, title and easement source materials, GIS overlays, power-path documentation, entitlement memos, environmental screens, and transaction documents — are deemed confidential business information of Thinktanq and its affiliates.
Materials may be used solely for the purpose of evaluating a potential Phase 1 control, JV, phased acquisition, ground lease, or developer-services transaction with respect to the Solano AI Infrastructure Campus opportunity. Materials may not be reproduced, disclosed, or used for any other purpose.
The requesting party represents that it is a qualified counterparty (developer, operator, infrastructure capital partner, IPP, strategic buyer, or duly retained advisor) and that the named individual is authorized to receive confidential information on behalf of the requesting firm.
Nothing herein, and no statement on the public page, constitutes a representation that secured power, secured interconnection, secured capacity, secured demand, or secured entitlements exist. Adjacency to PG&E Vaca-Dixon and WAPA 500 kV infrastructure is a diligence framing, not a delivered product.
Thinktanq reserves the right to engage, exclude, sequence, and select counterparties in its sole discretion, and to convert a private screening to a formal dated process or vice versa.
