NVIDIA partners with SB Energy to secure AI factory infrastructure
649BNVIDIA announced a partnership with SB Energy to secure liquid power and shell (LPS) capacity at the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus in Portsmouth, Ohio, where OpenAI will operate as the tenant. The initial deployment is expected to provide 4.25 gigawatts of AI factory capacity using NVIDIA's full-stack AI factory platform. NVIDIA will support LPS infrastructure for approximately 4 gigawatts over a 20-year term through defined lease and power payment support and residual-value commitment. OpenAI has committed to substantial NVIDIA compute deployments through 2030, representing approximately 12 gigawatts with potential expansion to 16 gigawatts.

NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft develop 800 VDC power architecture for AI factories
659BNVIDIA, Google, and Microsoft have developed 800 VDC architecture through the Open Compute Project to improve power distribution for AI compute. The architecture distributes power at higher voltage through direct current, reducing conversion stages and inefficiencies compared to traditional AC distribution. An NVIDIA MGX-compatible 800 VDC power rack arriving in the second half of 2026 enables hybrid deployment in existing AC infrastructure without building modifications. Over 80 equipment manufacturers are building products to this specification, with row power centers expected in 2027 and facility-scale DC power blocks planned for new installations.
