OpenAI has announced the launch of a large data center in Narvik, Norway. The project, called Stargate Norway, is OpenAI’s first European data center initiative and is part of the “OpenAI for Countries” program.

In collaboration with the Norwegian companies Nscale and Aker, OpenAI aims to realize one of the most ambitious AI infrastructure projects in Europe. The data center will have a capacity of 230 MW and may be expanded by an additional 290 MW in the future. The facility will target to deliver 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs by the end of 2026.

This is one of the most ambitious AI infrastructure investments in Europe to date. Narvik’s abundant hydropower, low-cost energy, cool climate, and mature industrial base make it an ideal location to deliver large-scale, sustainable AI capacity. The facility will run entirely on renewable power and is expected to incorporate closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling to ensure maximum cooling efficiency. Additionally, excess heat from the GPU systems will be made available to support low-carbon enterprises in the region.

Aker and Nscale will also work to provide priority access to Norway’s AI ecosystem, ensuring homegrown AI start-ups and scientific researchers can benefit from the additional compute capacity. Surplus capacity will be made available to public and private sector users across the UK, Nordics and Northern Europe, serving regional demand and accelerating the development of Europe’s AI ecosystem.

While in Norway, OpenAI will also engage with government officials to explore opportunities for collaboration, including boosting AI adoption and helping to deliver on Norway’s sovereign AI goals for the benefit of its people.

Stargate Norway follows the launch of Stargate UAE⁠ earlier this year and reflects OpenAI’s growing partnerships with governments and industrial leaders around the world including in Europe.
