Black Mountain Fort Worth — Forest Hill, Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data identifies Black Mountain Fort Worth as a wholesale/build-to-suit data-center project operated by Black Mountain in Forest Hill, Texas. It is marked `Announced` with 0 MW, with coordinates 32.6418, -97.2644. The note says Black Mountain Power is planning a large-scale Fort Worth development. Public records show a multi-stage entitlement and site-planning process rather than an operating facility.
Fort Worth’s ZC-24-153 record covers a 141.7-acre tract at the southeast corner of Lon Stephenson Road and Forest Hill Drive and sought a planned-development specific use for a data center. The city’s ZC-25-131 record covers 7600, 7740, and 7780 Forest Hill Drive, lists 119.98 acres in the case title, and records City Council approval on September 30, 2025. The two records should not be silently summed into one final boundary. A May 2026 report describes a later 232.5-acre site plan with four buildings, 2.2 million square feet, and a private substation; it corrects earlier assumptions that Oncor would operate the substation.
These records establish development, zoning, and proposed infrastructure layers. They do not establish construction completion, energization, critical IT load, generation output, or customer-ready capacity. Keep Black Mountain’s energy-company role, rezoned tracts, site plan, private substation, and any future generation separate. Request the final approved site plan, permits, utility/interconnection evidence, construction status, tenant, and commissioning record.
