# Nvidia reportedly in talks to invest $3B in SB Energy for OpenAI campus

*2026-08-17 · Source: [Data Center Dynamics](https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/nvidia-in-talks-to-invest-up-to-3bn-in-sb-energy-report/)*

Nvidia is reportedly considering investing up to $3 billion in SB Energy to help build power infrastructure for a data center campus in Ohio that could scale up to 10 gigawatts. The campus is intended to support OpenAI's compute buildout.

**Why it matters:** This continues Nvidia's pattern of funding the power and infrastructure layer of AI buildouts rather than just selling chips, echoing its recent Intel and SpaceX moves, and deepens the circular financial ties between chipmakers and the labs that consume their hardware. A 10GW campus would rank among the largest single data center commitments announced to date, underscoring that power availability, not chip supply, is becoming the binding constraint on AI scaling.

**Topics:** chips, infrastructure
