Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Mixed workloadsPartially Verified

Oracle's March 2026 permit comments identify it as Project Jupiter's tenant and describe an AI data-center campus; its July 2026 update adds current construction and onsite-workforce context, while related reporting connects the site to OpenAI. These sources do not establish whether the capacity is for frontier training, inference, traditional cloud, or some mix.

Oracle's permit comments, July 2 permit letter, water-use statement, June 2026 power-plan update and July 2026 progress update support tenant, AI-campus, cooling-plan, power-design, staffing and development-status context, not a measured workload allocation. The reported onsite workforce is construction/status context. Do not allocate the 700 MW reported facility scale, the 2.45 GW Bloom/Oracle power figure, or the $165B project-cost claim to any specific compute workload without a stronger source.

Public Money

Source dataset project_cost field reports $165 billion; public funding records still need local review.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Oracle's updated Project Jupiter power-plan announcement says the fuel-cell microgrid is expected to avoid public drinking water for power generation and data-center cooling and requires only minimal water for power-generation startup fill. The company statement does not publish a facility withdrawal, consumption, cooling, service, or wastewater quantity; those records remain open.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Oracle says an updated air-quality application replaces the earlier gas-turbine and diesel design with a Bloom fuel-cell microgrid. Bloom separately describes up to 2.45 GW of fuel-cell capacity for the campus. These are planned onsite-generation/project-power figures, not confirmed utility load, energized capacity, or data-center IT load; tariff, interconnection, fuel-supply, and ratepayer records remain separate questions.
