Nvidia eyes $3 billion investment in SoftBank's SB Energy under OpenAI data center deal
Nvidia is reportedly considering a $3 billion investment in SoftBank's energy arm, SB Energy. The move is tied to a larger data center buildout supporting OpenAI's growing computing needs.
Nvidia is in discussions to invest roughly $3 billion in SB Energy, the energy arm of SoftBank Group, according to a report from The Information. The move aims to shore up power capacity considered essential to AI infrastructure buildouts.
The potential deal is part of a broader push to expand the vast data center network supporting OpenAI's computing needs. Electricity demand for training and running AI models has surged in recent years, pushing technology companies into direct partnerships with power producers.
Nvidia extending its reach beyond chipmaking into energy infrastructure is seen as part of a wider strategy to deepen its influence across the entire AI supply chain, from silicon to the power grid.
