First phase of a 5 GW campus announced in 2025.
Supply as reported: Grid (gas and nuclear in the mix), solar
A photoreal aerial of this facility as specified: halls, towers, substation and supply, placed in the landscape SAM measured.
Pulls a satellite view of the site and asks Segment Anything 3.1 for buildings, surface water, solar arrays and open land. The masks become hectares and distances, which replace the country priors for land and water in every estimate of this site, labelled as measured.
Stargate UAE clears every viability floor with a composite score of 61. The proposed energy mix keeps carbon intensity and grid draw inside tolerance while the payback stays under seven years.
