Oracle leases Lighthouse campus in New Mexico for AI data center load
What happened
Oracle leased the Lighthouse campus in New Mexico to handle increased IT load and GPU capacity. This campus, one of two leased by Oracle, includes four buildings and approximately 902MW of critical IT load, contracted in September 2025. The report notes that power, not construction, is the bottleneck at the Lighthouse campus and a related site, Project Jupiter.

Why it matters
Oracle has over $600 billion in future revenue tied to its AI data center backlog. Because power is the constraint, delays in construction and readiness could defer revenue and make cash-flow impacts more irregular.
Oracle is planning an AI data center in New Mexico. Oracle and Meta are working on data center energy solutions in the state, including gas supply agreements and solar projects, despite regulators rejecting a pipeline.
