1 GW cluster anchoring the 5 GW UAE–US AI campus. The first 200 MW was due in Q3 2026 (Mubadala, Dec 2025); no go-live had been announced by mid-Oct 2026, and Sep 2026 press reports describe a hardened redesign.
Power figures are IT load where trackers publish it and campus power where only the operator’s headline exists; each source below names its basis. A figure marked est rests on at least one source other than the operator’s own announcement.
