SoftBank subsidiary SB Energy is expected to build a massive 9.

2 gigawatt natural gas-fired power plant on the Ohio-Kentucky border, according to a report from Bloomberg.

If completed, it would be the largest power plant in the U. , capable of powering around 7.

With a price tag of $33 billion, the project would be more expensive than recent natural gas-fired power plants, which have skyrocketed in cost, Bloomberg notes.

It’s unclear who will ultimately foot the bill, though traditionally rate-payers have shouldered the burden for new generating capacity.

The Japanese investor is a partner in the Stargate project with OpenAI.

SB Energy did not say whether the new power plant would feed directly into the grid or if it would power data centers.

OpenAI and SoftBank are in the process of building a “proof of concept” data center at GM’s former Lordstown automotive assembly plant
