Oracle Invokes Force Majeure on New Mexico AI Data Center Amid Power Delays
Oracle has reportedly invoked a force majeure clause on its large-scale AI data center project in New Mexico, which has been referred to as both Project Jupiter and Stargate. The company cited power delays as the primary reason for the action, which aims to shield it from potential costs and liabilities associated with construction setbacks. The news, initially reported by Bloomberg and Reuters citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, led to a notable drop in Oracle's stock price and raised broader concerns about the challenges of building AI infrastructure. While Oracle has not issued a public statement confirming the force majeure notice, the widespread reporting by major financial and tech news outlets indicates the corporate action has taken place. The notice was reportedly sent to Blue Owl, a key partner in the project. This development has fueled investor anxiety regarding Oracle's ability to meet its AI data center targets and the broader funding landscape for AI infrastructure.
