Bloomberg Businessweek Weekend - September 25th, 2026

Oracle Corp. is moving to shield itself from racking up expenses on a massive data center being built in New Mexico, adding a fresh wrinkle to a project beset by opposition and regulatory setbacks.
The technology giant sent the project’s developer, a unit of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a notice citing force majeure, according to people familiar with the situation. Rather than trying to walk away as the site’s main tenant, Oracle is attempting to put off payments should the data center dubbed Project Jupiter get derailed and fail to come online in 2028 as planned, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters. Companies typically invoke force majeure to free themselves from contractual obligations when problems arise beyond their control. In this case, Oracle is seeking to assert its contractual position if the build-out is delayed.

For a closer look, we speak with Anurag Rana, Senior Tech Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence.
