1. Emissions proposal
Oracle and Yucca Growth Infrastructure proposed changes to Project Jupiter’s fuel-cell microgrid that would cut permitted emissions, including greenhouse gases, by approximately 35%. The proposal would cap projected annual greenhouse gas emissions at about 5.7 million tons, down from 8.8 million tons, and is pending review by the New Mexico Environment Department. Planned data center IT capacity would remain unchanged. Oracle committed to matching its energy use with 100% carbon-free energy by 2031 and meeting New Mexico’s Energy Transition Act goals before 2045.
