Project Jupiter

Thursday, October 29, 2026

Oracle's 2.5 GW campus in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, financed through $165B of county industrial revenue bonds, and the running record of the fight over how it gets its power.

Sponsor: Oracle. Bond record for the sponsor sits on its issuer page.

Project Jupiter is Oracle's 2.5 GW data centre campus in the Santa Teresa area of Doña Ana County, New Mexico. The financing runs through county industrial revenue bonds under Ordinance 367-2025: a $165 billion authorization ceiling that reconciles as Series 2025A of $15 billion, Series 2025B of $25 billion and Series 2025C of about $125 billion. The county holds title and leases the project back to the project companies, which is why the county assessor shows no parcels in the campus parties' names. The bonds are private placements. No CUSIP, fund holder position or trade print for any Jupiter entity appears in the record, and EMMA carries no continuing disclosure for them.

Power is the contested point. The Community Benefits Agreement signed on November 12, 2025 commits the project, in Exhibit A, Section 8.4, to power itself with an onsite microgrid system. Oracle has since pursued two supply routes the county disputes or regulators have blocked: the Green Chile gas pipeline, rejected at state level in July 2026 and now before FERC, and a supplemental grid connection from El Paso Electric, which the county commission voted on October 27, 2026 to treat as a potential breach of the IRB agreements. The $165 billion figure is an authorization ceiling across the three series, not a project cost. The record holds no total project cost and no construction status beyond the reported 2028 online target.
