Oracle may face a collateral requirement of approximately $7 billion to secure electricity for its Wisconsin data-center project. The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin imposed the requirement after Oracle’s credit rating was reduced to BBB-, seeking to protect consumers from potential electricity costs if the project does not fully materialize. The project is part of the $15 billion Lighthouse data-center campus in Port Washington. Oracle plans to contest the requirement, which could increase upfront funding needs and delay AI capacity deployment.
