SoftBank Group announced today that it plans to spend up to €75 billion (around $87 billion) to expand data center capacity in France.
The goal, the firm said, is to develop and operate up to 5 gigawatts of additional data center capacity. The first phase of the plan involves building data centers in Dunkirk (Loon-Plage), Bosquel, and Bouchain to deliver 3.1 gigawatts of capacity to the Hauts-de-France region by 2031.
SoftBank, which is both an investor in and customer of OpenAI, says this will be its largest AI infrastructure investment in Europe.
In a statement, French economic minister Roland Lescure described the announcement as a "testament to President Emmanuel Macron's ambition to position France as a leading destination all along the AI value chain."
米国では、環境問題やデータセンターが電力網や電気料金に与える影響に関する疑問から、データセンター建設への反対が高まっています。それでもソフトバンクは以前、オハイオ州にデータセンターを建設する計画を発表しており、これは新しい 9.2 ギガワットの天然ガス発電所によって稼働されるものです。

In the United States, opposition to data center construction is heating up over environmental concerns, as well as questions about how data centers affect the electrical grid and utility prices. Nonetheless, SoftBank earlier announced plans to build a data center in Ohio, powered by a new 9.2 gigawatt natural gas plant.
