Jericho Energy Ventures Announces 20 MW Grid Power and Accelerated Grid Interconnection for Oklahoma AI Data Center Campus
Rhea-AI Summary
Jericho Energy Ventures (OTC:JROOF) announced that a newly constructed 345 kV transmission line crossing its Noble County, Oklahoma AI Data Center Campus plus updated Southwest Power Pool (SPP) grid rules will enable expedited interconnection. The site will have 20 MW of immediately available capacity beginning January 2026 and is described as supported by scalable infrastructure capable of supplying multiple gigawatts of combined grid and natural-gas generation for build-to-suit data centers. The company also noted CEO Brian Williamson will join an investor webcast on Dec 4, 2025.
This update highlights near-term deliverable power and a regulatory pathway the company says could enable large-scale future expansion of data center power at the AI Campus.

Pre-news moves in key Energy peers were mixed, with some modest gains (e.g., LRDC and TAOIF up around 1%) and others flat or slightly negative, suggesting this AI data center grid-power news was more stock-specific than part of a broad sector rotation.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 04 | AI grid power update | Positive | -7.6% | Announced 20 MW immediate capacity and expedited 345 kV grid interconnection. |
| Nov 06 | AI summit participation | Positive | -1.6% | Highlighted Morrison Data Center site and existing Oklahoma AI infrastructure. |
| Sep 30 | Interim CFO & AI site | Positive | +0.6% | Named interim CFO and announced inaugural Oklahoma AI data center location. |
| Jul 07 | AI partnership expansion | Positive | -2.7% | Formed partnership to add large Ohio and Nevada AI data center sites. |
Recent AI-related announcements have often been followed by negative price reactions, even when the news described infrastructure expansion or strategic progress.
Over the last few months, Jericho has steadily built its AI infrastructure story. The company unveiled its Modular Data Center initiative on Mar 31, 2025, then added AT&T fiber connectivity in early April. Subsequent AI updates highlighted oil and gas revitalization tied to AI power and the Morrison Data Center site. The current Noble County grid-power announcement on Dec 4, 2025 extends this trajectory by emphasizing immediate 20 MW capacity and a path to multi-gigawatt expansion.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved -7.6% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite infrastructure progress fits prior patterns, where several AI-tagged updates led to declines, including a -7.56% move on this same grid-power news. The stock already traded below its $0.10 200-day MA, so weakness may reflect skepticism about monetization of the 20 MW capacity and broader execution risks around scaling to multi-gigawatt levels.
