Guarantees up to $105B in lease/power payment obligations, invests $1.5B directly in SB Energy, and is the exclusive AI compute infrastructure supplier for the campus - effectively underwriting OpenAI's creditworthiness so a non-investment-grade company can secure long-term financing.
Signs the 20-year lease as the tenant for up to 8 IT-GW of compute capacity at the site; pays rent and is the party whose default risk Nvidia is guaranteeing.
SB
SB Energy (SoftBank-backed)
Developer, owner, and operator of the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus; builds and manages the data center that Nvidia's guarantee makes financeable.
Parent/backer of SB Energy; separately completed a $41 billion investment in OpenAI in December 2025 for roughly an 11% stake, tying it to both sides of the deal.
Regional utility partner for the $4.2 billion grid infrastructure investment tied to the project, a precondition for powering the campus.
