Abstract

The article focuses on Microsoft's plan to rent data center capacity from Nscale in Portugal to enhance its computing resources for artificial intelligence. The facility, located at the Start Campus in Sines, is set to utilize Nvidia's latest AI chips and is expected to be operational by early 2026. Nscale, a British company that emerged from a crypto mining background, has recently secured significant funding and partnerships to support its expansion. The project emphasizes sustainability, as it aims to use renewable energy and ocean water for cooling, addressing concerns about the environmental impact of increased AI demand in Portugal.
