Risks & controversies
Blackstone's proposed acquisition of TXNM Energy, parent of the Public Service Company of New Mexico serving 800,000 customers in New Mexico and Texas, has drawn opposition from consumer advocates and intervenors who argue that a $400 million private placement of TXNM shares purchased by Blackstone in June 2025 required prior authorization from the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission; intervenors have argued the broader merger should not proceed, and Blackstone said it strongly disagrees with the positions taken and would formally refute them. Critics also raised concerns about diminished state regulatory authority and potential affiliate interests involving Blackstone-owned data center developer QTS, which Blackstone has owned since 2021 and which has expressed interest in developing data centers in the New Mexico market. Separately, Blackstone's Home Partners of America subsidiary faced criticism over its rent-to-own program after a 2023 study found fewer than a third of analyzed homes were sold to original tenants, with some residents evicted; the business was wound down in 2025 with 179 layoffs and the closure of its Chicago headquarters.
