Oracle is redesigning its massive Project Jupiter AI data center campus in New Mexico to use Bloom Energy fuel cells for on-site power generation instead of traditional gas turbines and diesel backup. This shift aims to provide a more reliable and environmentally friendly power source for the high-density AI workloads planned for the 1,400-acre facility. The revised design will create a single microgrid with up to 2.45 GW of capacity, significantly reducing nitrogen oxide emissions and water usage compared to previous plans. AI
