Time to Power
When is capacity expected?
1 dated targets · 9 without a first-capacity window
0 elapsed targets await delivery evidence
Delivery confirmation is still needed for these records. An elapsed target alone does not establish a delay.
Actual time to power: not established
Company targets describe expected availability. Measured time to power requires a dated start and site-level energization evidence.

How to read these dates and figures
Dates are the original announced windows. A vague year keeps a full-year range; construction completion and equipment release dates are excluded. 6 announcements disclose no MW allocation. 0 quantified records are excluded from capacity comparisons because their scope is not comparable or overlaps. Export the CSV for the source, quantity terms, and inclusion basis of each agreement.

| Oct 22, 2025 | OpenAI OpenAI / Oracle Stargate Campus build | Vantage stated a $15B+ project investment; retained as a source statement and excluded from contract-value totals | 902 MW Vantage-stated critical IT load across four buildings; campus total, not an OpenAI or Oracle customer allocation | Port Washington, Wisconsin, US No delivery date disclosed | Build announcedDeal detailsVantage, OpenAI, and Oracle announced this Stargate site on October 22, 2025, with completion scheduled for 2028. Vantage's current campus page states 902 MW of critical IT load across four buildings. This is the full site figure, not an OpenAI or Oracle allocation; utility power requirements use a separate basis. The Wisconsin PSC revoked the first transmission application's completeness determination on September 10, 2026. The replacement application is docket 137-CE-229 and remains under review. Oracle's September 16 statement says its commitment to completion is unchanged but gives no first-service date. Construction completion is not a first-capacity target, and no energized-power evidence is recorded.

| Sep 23, 2025 | OpenAI Oracle Cloud compute | $300B+ · 5 years | Up to 4.5 GW Planned compute capacity | United States · multiple sites No delivery date disclosed | Agreement signedDeal detailsSeptember disclosure of the July Oracle agreement: over $300B across five years and up to 4.5 GW of additional Stargate capacity. This is part of the Stargate program, not capacity additional to its headline total. For Project Jupiter, Oracle proposed an Energy Service Agreement with El Paso Electric on October 13 to support late-stage construction, initial commissioning, emergency backup, and worker life safety. On October 15, Oracle said its revised fuel-cell permit reduced permitted emissions by 35%; on October 22, it described the private microgrid plan and stated up to 2.45 GW of installed fuel-cell generation capacity. Oracle's October 13 update says campus scope and planned capacity did not change. The 2.45 GW power-system rating is recorded separately from this compute agreement. These releases do not confirm energization or a revised customer delivery date. Oracle's reported force-majeure notice and debt-market concerns remain unverified in company or regulatory filings; they are not treated as changed contract terms. The proposed utility agreement does not disclose an MW allocation; its expected $10M annual power payment is not compute-contract value or project investment. A separate proposed ratepayer credit is not campus capacity or customer compute.

| Jul 31, 2025 | OpenAI Nscale / Aker Campus build | Undisclosed | Undisclosed Nscale and Aker announced 230 MW initial campus capacity; possible overlap with the separately reported Narvik campus | Kvandal, Narvik, Norway 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs targeted by end of 2026 0–3 months to target | Build announcedDeal detailsNscale and Aker announced a 230 MW initial campus with ambition for another 290 MW. Nscale later disclosed a possible 115 MW Narvik expansion backed by an uncommitted financing feature. OpenAI welcomed the opportunity to be an initial offtaker; the announcement does not state a signed OpenAI capacity allocation. OpenAI's page describes a 500 MW data center. These figures may describe the Narvik development also covered by Microsoft/Nscale announcements, so this record is excluded from capacity totals. Nscale and Aker said they committed about $1B to an initial 20 MW phase; this is project financing/investment, not an OpenAI contract value. The end-2026 target is a GPU deployment target, not proof of first energization.

Initial equity funders: SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. Technology partners: Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI. This is a project-company build, not a bilateral cloud offtake. The $100B figure is the initial deployment; the $500B figure is the stated intention. OpenAI, Announcing The Stargate Project ↗Related: OpenAI / Oracle · 2025-09-23Assess this deal |
