- Description: Nscale, a UK based AI cloud operator, committed EUR695 million to add a second 200 megawatt building at its Start Campus site in Sines, Portugal, to host over 66,000 Nvidia Rubin GPUs sold to Microsoft as capacity from late 2027.

**What it does not test.** Does not establish that the added GPU capacity reduces Europe's reliance on Microsoft's Azure platform as the buyer of that capacity.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. No question moves: Nscale (UK) just scales its own site; GPUs remain Nvidia, sold to Microsoft. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
