G42 reports that the construction of Stargate UAE, a 1GW AI infrastructure cluster within the 5GW UAE–U.S. AI Campus in Abu Dhabi, is progressing well.
The first 200MW block is currently under construction, with a target completion date of 2026. Key milestones include the completion of design, ongoing structure construction, and the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems.
Long-lead hardware has also begun to arrive on site, indicating significant progress in the project.
Construction is "well underway" on Stargate UAE and progressing to the planned 2026 delivery for the first 200MW.
G42 attributes the rapid progress to the "design-to-build" approach employed by Khazna Data Centers, allowing for a swift transition from design to construction.
