Before today, the 2.8 GW was just an "agreement to procure" in the future. Today’s news transforms that abstract number into a concrete project with several key updates
* Massive Deployment Confirmed: Oracle and BorderPlex Digital Assets explicitly named Project Jupiter in New Mexico as the site for 2.45 GW of those fuel cells.
* Complete Technology Pivot: Developers are scrapping previous plans for gas turbines and diesel generators. The entire AI campus will now be powered by a single, consolidated Bloom Energy microgrid.
* Environmental & Resource Impact: Because they are switching to fuel cells, the project will now use a "negligible" amount of water and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 92% compared to the old turbine plan.
* Grid Independence: The project is being designed as a standalone microgrid, meaning it won't pull from the local public utility, protecting residents from potential rate hikes or grid instability caused by the data center's high power demand.
