Julia believes these investments are part of a wider strategy to ensure local communities benefit from the development.

“The project is expected to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to improve schools, drinking water and local infrastructure throughout Doña Ana County, minimize campus water use, provide a clean and reliable energy solution through Bloom Energy fuel cells, and create thousands of new career opportunities for residents,” she says.

“The more residents learn the facts about the project, the more we hope they understand its transformative benefits for New Mexico.”

Oracle estimates that Project Jupiter will create more than 4,000 construction jobs during development and support an additional 1,500 ongoing jobs once operational.
