New Mexico AG challenges federal commission’s review of proposed Project Jupiter gas pipeline

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s environmental review of a proposed gas pipeline intended to power the Project Jupiter data center in Doña Ana County. He argues the review must account for the data center’s own greenhouse-gas emissions and environmental impacts, while pipeline delays have pushed the expected completion date to 2027.

Oracle says Project Jupiter remains on track despite power supply concerns

Oracle's Project Jupiter data center in New Mexico faces potential delays due to power supply issues, including unapproved air permits for its fuel-cell plant and rejections for a natural gas pipeline. Oracle issued a force majeure notice to its developer, Stack Infrastructure, but states the project remains on schedule. Separately, administrative judges recommended denying a power plant for Meta's data center in El Paso, Texas, unless Meta covers all costs.

Green Chile gas pipeline to Project Jupiter delayed to 2027

A proposed natural gas pipeline, the Green Chile Pipeline, intended to power Oracle and OpenAI's 2.5 GW "Project Jupiter" data center in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, has been delayed to 2027. This delay stems from successful challenges by environmental groups, staff objections from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and denials of lease applications by the New Mexico Land Commissioner due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding water and emissions. New Mexico lawmakers are now considering a statewide moratorium on large-scale data centers.
