Skadden is advising Aker ASA on its launch, along with Nscale Global Holdings and OpenAI, of Stargate Norway, an advanced AI infrastructure project in Narvik, Northern Norway. Powered entirely by renewable energy, the facility will be designed to provide secure, scalable and energy-efficient infrastructure for sovereign AI workloads across Europe, fully aligned with European regulatory frameworks.
Stargate Norway is planned to deliver 230MW of capacity, with ambitions to expand by an additional 290MW – positioning it among the most significant AI infrastructure investments in Europe. It is projected to generate significant activity and a long-term operational presence in the Narvik region. The project also will collaborate with local and regional academic institutions to advance AI research and development, supporting the growth of regional expertise and innovation in Northern Norway.
