Project Jupiter in Doña Ana County has changed materially since its original announcement. Oracle’s June 2026 account describes a revised power plan using fuel cells in place of previously proposed turbines and diesel equipment. Its September 8 update announces a request for proposals for 2 gigawatts of renewable energy, with delivery contemplated over 2027–2031 and subject to required approvals. Fuel cells using natural gas are distinct from renewable electricity; a procurement request is not evidence of operating renewable generation.

Oracle’s current project page says customer delivery is expected to begin in the first half of 2027. Its reported construction workforce, tax payments and community commitments should be identified as company statements and reconciled with county records where possible. Earlier completion dates and workforce projections should remain in a dated history rather than silently becoming current facts. Oracle’s data-center information; July 28 Jupiter update.
A congressional statement dated August 24 describes a New Mexico Supreme Court stay that temporarily halted Project Jupiter’s air-permit proceeding, including the hearing previously set for September 14. The Department of Justice’s September 3 statement supports challenges to the permitting process; it does not establish that the stay was lifted. A new hearing date requires a later official order. These procedural developments do not decide whether the project ultimately may operate. August 24 congressional statement; New Mexico DOJ’s September 3 statement.
