Nvidia Invests in Ohio AI Data Center Backed by OpenAI Lease and Financing Guarantee
Nvidia is expanding beyond chip sales by investing $1.5 billion in SB Energy to support a massive AI data center campus in Ohio, leased by OpenAI for 20 years. The project, expected to reach up to 10 gigawatts of power capacity, aims to address infrastructure constraints like land and energy critical for AI growth. Nvidia will provide a $105 billion financing guarantee, become the exclusive chip supplier, and take an equity stake in SB Energy. The site will run exclusively on Nvidia chips and is backed by significant investments in local energy infrastructure.
