Black Mountain San Antonio — Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data lists Black Mountain San Antonio under Black Mountain, with `Announced` status, 0 MW, and TX-16 & Lone Star Pass. Data Center Dynamics reported on February 5, 2026 that Black Mountain Power LLC bought 432 acres at that intersection, that Ballard Exploration loaned about $64.5 million, and that Black Mountain did not comment on plans. The same story notes Black Mountain’s “Texas powered-land strategy for hyperscale data centers” and other Texas sites. Directory pages repeat 432 acres and a land-banked or land-secured status.
In a Public Utility Commission of Texas filing, Black Mountain Power argued that an unmodified transmission segment would bisect its tract and limit highest-and-best-use as a data-center project, and that the company had done test fits and engaged CPS on 138 kV and 345 kV alignments. That is evidence of intended data-center use and transmission constraints, not of a commissioned building, critical-IT design, or customer load. Acreage, seller financing, and transmission routing are land and grid-context layers, not operating IT capacity. Fort Worth, Parker County, and Bowie County Black Mountain acreage or MW are not imported into this San Antonio row.
The record is powered-land / land-banked discovery. Zoning, interconnection, building program, MW layer, and construction remain to be confirmed before any operating or available-capacity language.

This state sits outside ERCOT and outside the survey. Sponsoring one funds the work of charting it — pulling its interconnection queue, large loads, and price data onto the map.
