Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is teaming up with Australian startup Firmus Technologies to build a massive fleet of renewable energy-powered artificial intelligence data centers across the country.
Construction is already underway on two data centers in Melbourne and Tasmania for Project Southgate, an A$4.5 billion ($2.9 billion) undertaking that will utilize 150 megawatts of power, Firmus said in a statement.
Facilities will use Nvidia’s GB300 chips and are expected to come online by April.
The alliance’s $4.5 billion first-stage investment is to be delivered at Southgate Melbourne.
