Nikkei reports NVIDIA is considering a partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to supply cooling systems and energy-management equipment for next-generation AI data centres, which NVIDIA calls "AI factories". Mitsubishi Heavy manufactures data-centre air conditioning, high-efficiency cooling and backup power equipment and provides integrated energy-management systems; it also holds a global-leading share in gas turbines and is expected to pursue collaboration with NVIDIA on power infrastructure. SK Group is working with NVIDIA on a Japan AI factory targeted for 2028-29. As AI data-centre power demand climbs, markets including the US are increasingly deploying gas-fired power plants to supply data centres.
