Oracle asked FERC on Oct. 13 to speed the 17.8-mile Green Chile gas pipeline, now due February 1, 2027 against a plan of August 15, 2026. The 170-day slip feeds a campus planning 2.45 to 2.5 GW, and the trucked-gas fallback could cost four times as much.

Oracle is trucking compressed gas to AI data centers with late pipelines and weighing the same fix for its 2.45 GW Project Jupiter, Bloomberg reported.
