Scope
Doña Ana County Ordinance No. 367-2025 authorizes the issuance and private sale of taxable industrial revenue bonds for Project Jupiter in three series with aggregate maximum principal amounts of $15 billion for power generation, battery storage and microgrid facilities; $25 billion in four anticipated subseries for the acquisition, construction and equipping of four anticipated data center facilities; and $125 billion in four anticipated subseries for a tenant's acquisition, equipping and installation of those same data center facilities. The ordinance approves maximum bond authority and related forms and transactions; it does not establish that bonds were issued, that $165 billion was invested, or that a facility was constructed or operating. The sites are within Doña Ana County and outside any incorporated municipality. Exhibits A through C repeat seven fee parcel IDs and seven partial-interest parcel IDs related to easements, while warning that parcel IDs may change through lot-line adjustments and plan refinement.

Summary
Doña Ana County passed and adopted Ordinance No. 367-2025 on 19 September 2025 and recorded it on 22 September 2025 as instrument 2520581. The ordinance authorizes up to $165 billion of taxable industrial revenue bonds for Project Jupiter: up to $15 billion for power generation, battery storage and microgrid infrastructure; up to $25 billion for acquiring, constructing and equipping four anticipated data center facilities; and up to $125 billion for a tenant to acquire, equip and install facilities at those same data centers. These figures are authorization ceilings, not evidence of bond issuance, spending, completed construction or operation. The ordinance is one county incentive instrument and does not create additional facility records or a statewide New Mexico policy.
What this does not establish
- The ordinance authorizes maximum principal amounts and related documents. The reviewed instrument does not establish that any bond was issued or sold, that any authorized amount was financed or invested, or that any Project Jupiter facility was built or began operating.
- The Series 2025B and 2025C descriptions concern the same four anticipated data center facilities: Series 2025B covers acquisition, construction and equipping, while Series 2025C covers a tenant's acquisition, equipping and installation. They are not counted as eight facilities.
- The ordinance does not print a street address. Exhibits A through C list the same seven fee parcel IDs and seven partial-interest parcel IDs related to easements, but warn that parcel IDs may change through lot-line adjustments and as the companies refine their plans. This ordinance-level policy record does not reproduce those mutable parcel lists as facility locations.
- Section 14 says the ordinance shall be in full force and effect after final passage, approval, authentication and recording in accordance with state law, but it does not print a separate effective calendar day. The 19 September 2025 adoption date and 22 September 2025 recorder stamp are stored separately; no effective date is inferred.
- Section 11 says that after the bonds are issued the ordinance remains irrepealable until the bonds and interest are fully paid, canceled and discharged. Repayment would end that protection against repeal; the section does not say the ordinance automatically expires then.
- The signature page visually marks four commissioners For and one Against. No separate clerk tally was reviewed, and the vote is not recorded separately here. Later issuance documents, amendments, repeal or discharge were not established in this review.
Unresolved questions
- Whether and when any Series 2025A, 2025B or 2025C bonds were subsequently issued or sold, and in what principal amounts.
- Whether the anticipated companies, tenant, locations or facility plans changed in later bond, lease or development documents.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
