OpenAI’s Ohio AI Hub Tied to Nvidia-Backed, Massive Energy Buildout
OpenAI is moving forward with a massive Ohio data center featuring 8 IT-gigawatts of compute backed by Nvidia for up to $105 billion in lease/power guarantees to SB Energy; the plan includes at least 10 GW of new energy generation and a 20-year lease, with capacity expected in 2028, as part of a broader push to host large gas-powered AI campuses on Cold War–era sites.
