Coterra Energy Inc. (CTRA) announced a new 190‑megawatt distributed microgrid contract with PROPWR, a division of ProPetro Holding Corp., that will begin operations in the first quarter of 2026.
The deal expands Coterra’s presence in the distributed energy resources market, a key component of its strategy to diversify beyond traditional oil and gas. The 190 MW order adds to PROPWR’s committed capacity, boosting its 2026 capital‑expenditure plans and positioning the company to capture a share of the growing microgrid market.
Management highlighted that converting assets to microgrids can generate significant annual cost savings and free‑cash‑flow. The contract is expected to strengthen Coterra’s competitive position and provide a hedge against commodity price volatility, reinforcing the company’s long‑term growth outlook.
Analysts note that the microgrid market is expanding as utilities seek resilience and reliability. Coterra’s move positions it to tap into this trend, potentially adding a new revenue stream and improving operational efficiency across its portfolio.
The announcement follows Coterra’s Q3 2025 earnings, where the company maintained strong cash flow and returned capital to shareholders. The microgrid contract complements that performance and signals confidence in the company’s ability to generate sustainable, diversified revenue streams.
