Elda River expands investment in Black Mountain Power to over $200 million to support the Company’s advancement of digital infrastructure sites across Texas.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Elda River Capital Management, LLC ("Elda River") announced today that it has expanded its existing strategic credit investment in Black Mountain Power LLC ("Black Mountain Power," "BMP," or the "Company") to support BMP's continued advancement of hyperscale-ready digital infrastructure sites across Texas.

The expanded financing builds on Elda River's initial commitment in 2025 and provides additional capital to support interconnection-related requirements across BMP's project portfolio as the Company advances sites through ERCOT's large-load interconnection process.

"Black Mountain Power’s continued commercial momentum and disciplined execution have positioned the Company as a leader in Texas powered-land development," said Michael Dean, Partner at Elda River. "We are pleased to expand our commitment to Black Mountain Power as the Company advances its project pipeline to capture surging demand for well positioned digital infrastructure sites across ERCOT."

"Elda River has been a strategic partner since our initial financing, and their expanded support enables us to keep our project portfolio moving on the timelines that our hyperscale counterparties require," said Rhett Bennett, Founder & CEO, Black Mountain Power.

The expanded financing reflects Elda River's continued conviction in the structural demand for power-proximate, shovel-ready digital infrastructure sites across ERCOT and in BMP's disciplined approach to capturing early-mover premiums in Texas digital infrastructure land development.
