Nvidia Backs Massive Ohio Data Center for OpenAI with $1.5 Billion Investment

Nvidia has invested $1.5 billion in SB Energy to support an eight-gigawatt Ohio data center for OpenAI.

The investment is part of a larger deal that includes Nvidia's existing credit support of more than $100 billion for the AI lab, which will be built and operated by SB Energy.

SB Energy will lease the facility to OpenAI for 20 years, with the total cost of the project estimated at roughly $500 billion at today’s prices.
