Gigawatt Scale Race

deals new entrants named product
The rapid scaling of digital infrastructure, driven by massive AI workloads, is forcing operators beyond MW campuses to plan for GW clusters. This demands new ownership models for power generation and deep integration across power, cooling, compute, and network systems. This transformation redefines facility operations and sustainability planning for all infrastructure providers.
OpenAI infrastructure strategy
Project Stargate has advanced into execution during 2025, with OpenAI initiating the assembly of a multi-gigawatt artificial intelligence infrastructure portfolio globally, where power availability, capital structures, and delivery capability are now the defining risks for large-scale deployment.
Elon Musk Colossus
Elon Musk is significantly expanding xAI's Colossus data center project into a 2-gigawatt artificial intelligence behemoth, escalating competition and concerns surrounding power consumption and financial commitment.
GridFree Power Foundry Site
GridFree has activated its inaugural 'Power Foundry' site, South Dallas One in Texas, which is designated to support artificial intelligence data center workloads as part of a larger planned 5 Gigawatt cluster.
SoftBank Acquires DigitalBridge
SoftBank's four-billion-dollar acquisition of DigitalBridge represents a strategic pivot toward owning critical digital infrastructure, including data centers and fiber assets, to secure control over power and delivery mechanisms essential for the next wave of artificial intelligence projects like Stargate.
