The Stargate build-out is apparently already underway in Texas, and the power requirements of the site have yet to be disclosed but are likely to be significant - DCD reported last year that OpenAI presented a plan for 5GW data centers at a briefing for White House officials.

Despite its massive scale, Stargate intends to employ “at least” 57 full-time employees earning an average wage of just $57,600 annually, according to documents seen by Bloomberg regarding the ambitious data center project.

OpenAI and Japanese conglomerate SoftBank will each commit $19 billion to fund Stargate, a joint venture to develop data centers for artificial intelligence in the U.S., the Information reported on Wednesday.
