One source said Nvidia contacted a data-center company to identify potential offtakers—customers willing to buy or lease computing capacity. Nvidia has also reportedly introduced AI-infrastructure builders to companies holding Nvidia GPUs in the U.S. and Asia. Nvidia sometimes makes these approaches without identifying the company on whose behalf it is acting. Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said in June that Nvidia was helping customers obtain land, power, and data-center shells and accelerate compute deployment. Finland and Norway have recently attracted multiple 100+ MW-scale AI data-center projects. Pure DC announced a €1.5 billion Finnish campus starting at 110 MW, with potential expansion beyond 550 MW. Arcem has plans for a site of up to 500 MW. Nebius announced a major AI factory in Finland. Microsoft agreed to additional capacity at an Nscale facility in Norway. Norway has 2.3 GW of data-center capacity currently queued for future grid connections, according to Statnett.
