Record Notes

Stargate UAE is the OpenAI/G42/Oracle AI infrastructure cluster inside the larger UAE-US AI Campus in Abu Dhabi. OpenAI says the partnership includes a 1 GW Stargate UAE cluster, with 200 MW expected to go live in 2026. G42 likewise describes Stargate UAE as a 1 GW compute cluster that will run in the newly established 5 GW UAE-US AI Campus and says the first 200 MW AI cluster is expected to go live in 2026. ADCI removes the prior 5,000 MW selected capacity from this child record because that figure belongs to the parent UAE-US AI Campus. The source-backed child-cluster capacity is 1 GW, but it is not selected for public rollups here to avoid double-counting the parent campus capacity.
