$3 billion — that's the figure currently making the rounds. Nvidia is said to be in investment talks with SB Energy, the renewable energy infrastructure company under SoftBank Group, with the deal reportedly valued at around $3 billion.
As for what the money's actually for, the reports point to something specific: deploying AI data centers in Ohio. Nvidia has been steadily expanding beyond AI chips into broader infrastructure in recent years — data centers need more than just GPUs, they need a stable, large-scale power supply too. That's reportedly why SB Energy, as a renewable energy infrastructure player, got pulled into this deal.
That said, the whole thing is still sitting at the "reportedly" stage. Neither Nvidia nor SoftBank has officially confirmed the investment amount, equity stake, or the scale and timeline for the data center. Until both sides release official details, this $3 billion tie-up remains, for now, just an industry signal worth keeping an eye on.
