Oracle sends force majeure notice on its New Mexico Stargate data center
The notice would allow Oracle to delay payments should the facility miss its 2028 target to come online.
Get smart on it
Oracle has sent a force majeure notice regarding its stake in a Stargate data center campus in New Mexico, which allows the company to delay payments if the facility misses its 2028 target opening date, though Oracle says it does not expect delays and remains committed to the project. The notice matters because the data center project has faced setbacks related to energy supply, including a delayed gas pipeline and a pending air-quality permit decision, while the facility also faces opposition from residents and environmental groups. Project Jupiter is part of the broader Stargate AI infrastructure initiative announced by Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank with President Donald Trump, designed to handle 2.45 gigawatts and run on gas-powered fuel cells.
