Companies are grouped by their role at the site, with recorded parents above them. No parent companies were found in the ownership data. Further ownership remains unresolved where labelled. Record source: Company disclosure (press / IR); authority tier 2. Each role is drawn only as the relationship its own source establishes, listed above; none implies exclusive control of the full site. Ticks count the export-control and government-link findings for each company.

Stargate UAE / Abu Dhabi 5GW AI Campus (OpenAI / G42 / Oracle) has 5 records, and their power figures are never added together. Across the platform, recorded totals count the marked figure once; operating totals count a member’s figure only if it is operating capacity. Measurement scope is unrecorded for 1 of them.

Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Curator’s note on this campus

Five records describe the announced 5 GW Abu Dhabi campus programme and projects within it. Recorded totals count the 5,000 MW campus envelope once; no member is operating, so operating totals exclude the campus. Stargate UAE is the approximately 1 GW anchor project; the cited reporting targeted its first approximately 200 MW cluster for 2026. The full 5 GW envelope should not be read as capacity already under construction. The duplicate 5,000 MW estimate and the 200 MW and 1,000 MW phase figures remain visible for comparison but are excluded from both totals.
