Nvidia invests $1.5B in SB Energy to secure sole chip supply for OpenAI's Ports-Pike data center
↗
Nvidia's $1.5 billion investment in SB Energy, plus up to $105 billion in credit, guarantees Nvidia as the sole compute infrastructure supplier for an OpenAI data center near Cincinnati that could scale to 8 gigawatts.
This ties Nvidia's chip supply directly to one of the largest planned AI data centers in the U.S., locking in a massive customer while committing enormous capital. The facility's planned 9.2 gigawatt natural gas power plant, expected to cost $33 billion, underscores the energy scale required for next-generation AI infrastructure.
