Oracle sends force majeure notice on its New Mexico Stargate data center
Oracle sent a force majeure notice to Blue Owl Capital's unit, developer of Project Jupiter, a Stargate data center campus in New Mexico, allowing Oracle to delay payments if the facility misses its 2028 target. Oracle says the project remains on schedule, but the campus faces energy supply issues: a gas pipeline delayed to February 1, 2027, and a pending air-quality permit. The campus, designed for 2.45 gigawatts, relies on Bloom Energy fuel cells.
