Stargate UAE

PRJ-STARGATE-UAE · Site · UAE–U.S. AI Campus, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Record last updated Oct 28, 2026

Scope and capacity

Stargate UAE is a planned 1 GW AI-compute cluster in Abu Dhabi, distinct from the announced 5 GW UAE–U.S. AI Campus that hosts it. G42 and Khazna are delivering the physical infrastructure for the OpenAI–Oracle operating partnership. The initial 200 MW facility remains the focus of published construction reporting. G42’s October 2025 update forecast delivery in 2026; ALEC’s August 2026 project table separately reported 52% contractor completion as of June and an expected contract-completion year of 2027. These are different milestones, not evidence of a confirmed operator go-live revision. ALEC describes a 200 MW electrical design, 200 MW of heat rejection and liquid/immersion cooling approaches. These design figures do not establish commissioned IT load. Its reported AED 5.2 billion first-phase contract is not the cost or financing of the full cluster. TAQA is developing a broader Stargate electricity and water scheme, but its capacity cannot be allocated to this cluster from the published report. Cisco’s announced role covers connectivity and security; installed carrier routes and resilience ratings remain undisclosed. Entity-level US advanced-computing authorizations progressed in July 2026, without proving chip delivery or local permit completion. Precise cluster parcels, project-specific financing, actual water demand and verified commissioning remain unresolved in the reviewed public evidence.

Headline: 1,000 MW Planned / design

The planned 1 GW Stargate cluster is within the 5 GW host-campus envelope. The host envelope and cluster capacity overlap and are not additive.

Numbers refer to their stated physical boundaries and are not added together. Source dates, claim dates and record updates have different meanings. Missing dates and locators are not inferred.
