230-MW Stargate Norway AI Project Unites OpenAI, NVIDIA and Hydropower

Stargate Norway (Narvik) will be powered entirely by renewable energy, leveraging Norway’s surplus hydropower resources for sustainable AI infrastructure.
The project involves a $2 billion investment from NScale and Aker, with plans to expand from 230 MW to 520 MW of AI capacity by 2026.
OpenAI’s first European data center initiative aims to support AI research, development, and breakthroughs across Europe.
The U.S. is also investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with President Trump’s Stargate Project and private sector commitments totaling hundreds of billions of dollars.
Norway’s industrial history of turning renewable energy into value positions it as an ideal hub for the next wave of digital industry and AI innovation.
