Nvidia Aims for 2 GW of Data Centre Capacity in Australia by 2027
Nvidia is collaborating with several Australian companies to develop approximately 2 gigawatts (GW) of data centre computing capacity in the country by 2027. This initiative aims to meet growing demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure and will more than double Australia's current AI computing load, according to Nvidia’s statement. The project involves partners such as Firmus, Sharon AI, IREN, ResetData, Megaport, CDC, NextDC, and AirTrunk, who will operate the facilities. Nvidia will supply its DSX platform, accelerated computing technology, networking solutions, software, and ecosystem support to power these data centres. The expansion is expected to enhance local access to AI development tools like Nemotron models while supporting additional regional energy projects. Raj Mirpuri of Nvidia emphasized that this infrastructure could serve multiple generations of compute hardware and position AI factories as a new asset class for investment.
