Oracle's Wisconsin AI data center faces power approval and delay risk
What happened
Oracle's Wisconsin AI data center plans to deliver capacity to customers in 2027, but the transmission facilities it needs still await regulatory approval. The review restarted after ATC refiled its application in September 2026. An October 2 report said power approval could delay delivery. Aterio's base case expects partial power in December 2027 and full power in October 2028. Because electrical and cooling systems still need testing and commissioning after energization, Aterio expects campus load to ramp mainly from the first quarter of 2028. The power timeline is still a forecast and approval is not complete.

Oracle威斯康星AI数据中心所需的输电设施仍待监管批准，计划2027年向客户交付容量的目标面临延期风险。ATC在9月重新提交申请后，审批流程重新启动；Aterio的基准情景预计2027年12月部分供电、2028年10月全面供电。由于通电后仍需对电气和冷却系统进行测试与调试，Aterio预计园区负载主要从2028年第一季度开始增加。
