LONDON, UK, Apr 20, 2026 – Nscale is expanding its agreement with Microsoft to deploy more than 30,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs at the 230 MW Narvik campus in Norway by 2027. The project builds on their earlier deal and ranks among Norway’s largest onshore infrastructure projects for AI compute.
Nscale builds on its previously announced NVIDIA Vera Rubin deployment for Microsoft as it deploys additional AI compute infrastructure across multiple markets. The project follows the Aker Nscale joint venture consolidation and will be managed solely by Nscale.
Josh Payne, founder and CEO at Nscale said: “Customer demand for advanced AI infrastructure continues to accelerate across markets, and our focus is on bringing the latest technology online in the right locations and at real scale. Deployments in Narvik reflect strong demand from customers and Nscale continues to respond with pace and relentless execution.”
Jon Tinter, president, business development and ventures at Microsoft added: “Expanding our work with Nscale in Narvik helps ensure Microsoft customers have access to the advanced AI infrastructure they need as demand continues to grow across Europe. By bringing scalable capacity online with experienced partners like Nscale, we’re enabling the next generation of AI workloads with the latest infrastructure deployed at real-world scale.”
