Samenvatting

Oracle seeks 2 GW new NM renewables + $1M CCS research to calm Project Jupiter opposition — but Bloom fuel cells still burn gas; NM Supreme Court paused air permits Aug 23.

Het verhaal

On 11 Sep 2026 Ars Technica covered Oracle’s push for 2 GW of new New Mexico renewables around Project Jupiter, the ~$165B Santa Teresa Stargate campus Oracle is building for OpenAI. The RFP (announced ~8 Sep) plus a $1M carbon-capture research pledge aim to blunt local protests and lawsuits; the site is ~26% complete. Primary power remains up to 2.45 GW of Bloom Energy fuel cells still running on natural gas — the renewables would be off-site ‘matching’ toward a 2030/2031 carbon-free claim, not direct on-site power. New Mexico’s Supreme Court paused the air-quality permit process on 23 Aug amid environmental challenges.
