Nvidia is purchasing an additional $1.5B in shares of SB Energy ahead of the listing. The developer has 8.8GW of capacity contracted or under construction with total capital expenditures of $178B, primarily funded through debt. This delay follows a cooling appetite for AI infrastructure listings, including paused offerings from Holtec and Aggreko, though competitor DayOne still intends to raise $5B at a $20B valuation in November.
