Arroyo Investors

What Arroyo Investors does

Arroyo Investors is an independent private investment manager founded in 2003 and headquartered in the Houston, Texas area (Spring, TX), with additional offices in Santiago, Chile and an operational presence in Midland, Texas. The firm manages approximately $4 billion in cumulative assets under investment across four fund vintages (Fund I through Fund IV), deploying institutional capital into power and energy infrastructure assets across North America (United States and Mexico) and Chile. Its investment portfolio spans utility-scale natural gas and renewable power generation, behind-the-meter distributed power solutions, LNG and LPG midstream infrastructure, and digital infrastructure sites targeted at data center development.

Arroyo's business model is a traditional closed-end private equity fund structure: the firm raises capital from institutional limited partners into multi-year funds, identifies and acquires infrastructure assets or operating companies, creates value through operational improvements, refinancings, and development, and exits through strategic sales to utilities, infrastructure investors, and financial buyers. Revenue is generated through management fees on committed/invested capital and carried interest on realized gains. Notable transactions include the $821 million in refinancings completed during the COVID-19 pandemic (Broad River $197M, Pemcorp $195M, ARCO I $429M), the 2022 sale of ARCO I/II (290+ MW Chilean renewables), the 2025 sale of Brandywine and Broad River (1,100+ MW of U.S. dual-fuel generation), and the October 2025 sale of Life Cycle Power to Partners Group.

The firm serves institutional investors as its capital base, while its portfolio companies serve enterprise counterparties including utilities (Duke Energy Progress), mining operators (Minera Los Pelambres / Antofagasta PLC), automotive manufacturers (Kia Motors Mexico, Hyundai Engineering), and oil & gas and industrial operators. Recent strategic moves include the Fund IV final close (July 2025), sponsorship of Stella Power (September 2025), acquisition of Seaside LNG (October 2025), and the January 2026 co-acquisition of Whirlwind Energy Center with ONCEnergy, indicating continued expansion into data center power and renewables alongside the core natural gas and distributed generation thesis.
