Oracle explains Project Jupiter water sourcing and usage plans

Oracle announces Project Jupiter water-use and community investment commitments.

• Main announcement: Oracle states Project Jupiter will not use public drinking water or drill new wells; it will use non-potable industrial well water purchased under contract from an existing New Mexico rights holder, with cooling via closed-loop, non-evaporative direct-to-chip systems, and office potable use expected ~20,000 gallons/day and capped at 60,000 gallons/day.
• Community investments & power details: Oracle commits $50 million for water-system improvements and $360 million for schools, infrastructure, and local services in Doña Ana County; the microgrid uses Bloom Energy fuel cells requiring a one-time 960,000-gallon startup fill and no water during normal operations; Oracle also signed the White House Ratepayer Protection Pledge.
