OpenAI backs AI data center in Norway With 100,000 Nvidia GPUs

OpenAI on Thursday said it is launching a Stargate-branded AI data center in Norway, marking its first foray into Europe with such a project.

British firm Nscale will design and build the site as part of a 50-50 joint venture with Norwegian energy infrastructure firm Aker.

OpenAI will be a so-called “off-taker” in the project, meaning it will effectively buy capacity from the data center.

The site aims to deliver 100,000 NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPU) by the end of 2026, “with the intention to expand significantly in the years ahead,” OpenAI said in a press release. The companies said the data center will run entirely on renewable power and have 230 megawatts of capacity, making it one of the biggest in Europe.

Nvidia’s GPUs have become the de facto choice of chips for data centers because of their ability to handle large AI workloads.

For the Norway project, Nscale and Aker have each committed around $1 billion to the initial 20MW phase of the project. The site will be located in Kvandal, just outside Narvik in northern Norway. The companies said the region is characterized by “abundant hydropower, low local electricity demand, and limited transmission capacity.”

Stargate was initially launched this year in the U.S. as an infrastructure project between OpenAI, Oracle, Japan’s SoftBank, and the UAE’s MGX. The project aims to invest $500 billion over the next four years, building out AI infrastructure.

OpenAI has looked to take this initiative globally. In June, the company and its partners announced plans to build a Stargate campus in the UAE.

Europe has meanwhile been pushing the concept of “sovereign AI,” requiring data centers and AI workloads to be located and processed on European soil.

Companies like Nvidia and OpenAI have also been touting their ability to deliver sovereign AI as they look to expand their businesses.

In a trip to Europe this year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged the continent to build more AI infrastructure. French AI company Mistral announced plans to use Nvidia’s GPUs in a new data center planned for France.
