Ohio Campus Deal Structural Analysis

Under the current configuration, Nvidia's initial backstop of $125B unlocks $208.3B in debt and equity financing. This translates into 1.85 Million GPUs deployed across Ohio facilities by 2030, consuming 2.60 GW of local power.

Key Advantage:

Halving the initial backstop limits Nvidia's balance sheet credit contagion while providing sufficient initial leverage for OpenAI's near-term training clusters.

Primary Bottleneck:

Power grid interconnect delays in AEP Ohio territory remain the core risk factor, overriding chip availability by 2027.
