Oracle is urging federal regulators to expedite approval of the 17.8-mile Green Chile natural gas pipeline, warning that delays threaten its massive Project Jupiter data center campus in New Mexico. The pipeline would deliver approximately 400 million cubic feet of gas daily to power an off-grid microgrid using Bloom Energy fuel cells.
The project’s operational target has slipped to February 2027 from August after local opposition forced Transwestern Pipeline, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer, to reroute the pipeline onto federal land. Environmental groups and New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez are pressing FERC to assess the combined environmental impact of the pipeline and data center before granting final approval.
Oracle has considered trucking natural gas to the site for preliminary commissioning, but this temporary solution cannot meet the campus’s full energy requirements.
