Nebius Announces $40 Billion Capital Expenditure Plan Amidst Data Center Delays
Nebius has announced an ambitious plan to spend $40 billion by 2027 to expand its 'neocloud' infrastructure. The company intends to finance this massive buildout through customer pre-payments and loans secured by future data center value. However, the strategy faces significant headwinds due to operational delays at third-party sites. A major project in Vineland, New Jersey, intended to serve Microsoft via a contract worth up to $19.4 billion, is currently months behind schedule. The delay stems from power transition issues involving DataOne and regulatory fines related to unpermitted natural gas generator use. While Nebius claims its self-built sites are on track, the delays at third-party facilities pose a risk to its financing model and relationship with key customers like Microsoft.
