Nebius Group announces planned new data center in NJ with capacity up to 300 MW

Nebius Group (NBIS) announced a major upgrade to its US-based cloud computing capacity with the planned construction of a new data center in New Jersey with capacity of up to 300 MW. The data center that Nebius has commissioned in New Jersey will be built to Nebius’s own design, enabling the company to achieve maximum efficiency and offer superlative performance to customers… “Our first major data center in the US clearly advances our strategic goal of expanding our footprint in the American market as we continue building Nebius into a leading global AI infrastructure provider. This site has the potential to host dedicated large-scale instances, and we have considerable flexibility to accelerate our deployment plans as and when we need to. ” Nebius has agreed a second deployment phase, with the additional capacity expected to be online by the end of Q2 2025. Delivery of the first phase at Kansas City remains on track for Q1 2025. In Iceland, Nebius confirmed a new colocation deployment in Keflavik, Iceland, as it builds out more AI infrastructure in Europe. Physical deployment and software installation are underway, and the new capacity is expected to be fully operational and available to clients by the end of Q1 2025. This deployment is powered by Iceland’s abundant geothermal energy to reduce environmental impact.
