What is established
Announced. 5 GW announced (basis not stated by the source); $87B announced investment; expected Dec 2031; owned or developed by SoftBank.
What is not disclosed
Accelerator count, hardware platform, named tenant, power source, cooling technology — not disclosed by any source on this page. Recorded as unknown, never as zero.
Analyst note
Announced at Choose France 2026. Program across three sites (Loon-Plage/Dunkirk, Bosquel, Bouchain); capex is the USD equivalent of the up-to-€75B pledge, phase one €45B for 3.1 GW by 2031. Program-stage — no construction confirmed. Coordinates are the Loon-Plage lead site.
Corroborated by more than one source, but not yet backed by physical evidence.
Power readiness
Capacity basis unclear
A megawatt figure exists but the source does not say whether it is IT load, site power or generation.
Derived from the evidence on this page by a published rule, not a model. How this is calculated.
