Open AI, Oracle to Power Massive $165B ‘Project Jupiter’ Data Center Campus Outside Parched El Paso
January 14, 2026
OpenAI and Oracle are partnering to build the $165 billion Project Jupiter data center in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, near El Paso as part of OpenAI’s massive Stargate Project—aiming to spend half a trillion dollars this decade on infrastructure that enables artificial intelligence technology.
OpenAI’s announcement this week confirmed the two technology giants are behind the massive project, which was initially proposed by lesser-known BorderPlex Digital Assets out of Austin and its development partner Stack Infrastructure, which is based in Colorado.
“That compute is the key to ensuring everyone can benefit from AI and to unlocking future breakthroughs. We’re already making historic progress toward that goal through Stargate and moving quickly not just to meet its initial commitment, but to lay the foundation for what comes next,” Altman said.
