Oracle Issues Force Majeure Notice for New Mexico Stargate Data Center
Oracle has issued a force majeure notice to Blue Owl Capital, the developer of Project Jupiter in New Mexico. The move allows Oracle to delay payments if construction misses its 2028 completion target due to external factors like energy supply delays and regulatory hurdles. Despite this, Oracle maintains that it remains committed to the project's timeline. The Stargate data center campus is part of a larger AI infrastructure initiative involving Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank. The facility faces multiple challenges including delayed gas pipeline permits and pending air quality approvals. These setbacks have led to public opposition from residents and environmental groups in New Mexico ahead of the midterm elections. Oracle has launched outreach efforts to address concerns about the project's impact on local communities and the environment.
