OpenAI has launched Stargate Norway, its first AI data center in Europe, located in Narvik. This facility supports sovereign AI infrastructure and aims to provide 230 MW of capacity, potentially scaling by an additional 290 MW. Plans include deploying 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs by 2026. Powered by renewable hydropower, Stargate Norway utilizes energy-efficient cooling and will repurpose excess heat. OpenAI will facilitate access to local developers and researchers while partnering with Nscale and Aker for the project's implementation. This initiative represents a significant investment in European AI infrastructure.
Stargate Norway will deliver an initial 230 megawatts (MW) of capacity and aims to deploy 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs by 2026, with options for expansion.
Powered entirely by renewable hydropower, the facility will feature closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling for energy-efficient operations and plans to repurpose excess heat.
