NVIDIA is actively assisting its graphics processing unit (GPU) customers in identifying and connecting with data center operators in the Nordic region capable of deploying these chips, CNBC reported, citing sources. This move aims to leverage the Nordic region's abundant power and land resources to meet the rapid growth in AI infrastructure development. NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress previously stated in June that the company is indeed involved in "matchmaking" efforts, helping customers acquire land, power, and data center space to deploy computing capabilities as quickly as possible. According to data from Norwegian grid operator Statnett, 2.3 gigawatts of data center capacity are currently awaiting grid connection.
