Oracle has submitted an air permit application to New Mexico's Environment Department for two natural gas-powered microgrids for its Project Jupiter AI data center. This project is part of the $500 billion Stargate initiative, primarily supporting OpenAI's needs.

The 1,400-acre Santa Teresa campus will host up to 800,000 GPUs. Oracle plans to integrate solar and fuel cell capacity to meet New Mexico's 2045 net-zero targets. The project is expected to generate $384 million in economic impact during construction and create 4,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent roles.

Oracle committed $360 million for local schools and $50 million for water system upgrades. Construction is set to begin in September 2025, pending permit approval.
