The rich natural resources of Tejon Ranch, as well as its location along the major north-south transportation corridor in California, Interstate 5, provide a variety of other opportunities beyond the traditional ranching and farming operations.

Those opportunities include leases with operators who produce and explore for oil and gas on the ranch as well as with National Cement, which mines limestone on the ranch. National Cement produces more than 23 million cubic yards of cement each year at its plant in the Ranch, enough to pave 2,300 miles of roads or build foundations for thousands of hospitals, schools and homes.

The ranch is also home to the new Pastoria Energy Center, owned and operated by Calpine Corp. The 750-megawatt electric generation facility is helping meet California’s need for additional power sources.

In addition, Tejon Ranch also provides major easements to meet California’s current and future energy and telecommunications needs. Key pipelines, fiber optic cable and other communication transmission infrastructure for Southern California Gas, Southern California Edison, MCI, AT&T, Quest, SBC, and all major cellular carriers, cross the Ranch.
