Technology giant Nvidia is expected to announce in the coming days the establishment of the largest server farm in Israel. Calcalist has learned that the company is in advanced talks with the real estate firm Mega Or DC, controlled by Tzachi Nachmias, to lease a data center currently under construction in the Mevo Carmel industrial zone near Yokneam. The new facility will be located next to another Nvidia server farm built in cooperation with Shoval Paz and will also house the company’s new Blackwell processors.
The cost of building the server farm’s infrastructure, including the basic structure, electromechanical systems, electrical panels, transformers, and cooling systems, is estimated at NIS 1.5 billion (approximately $465 million) and will be borne jointly by the parties. Nvidia is expected to invest separately in the computing equipment, bringing the total investment to approximately NIS 4.84 billion ($1.5 billion).
The facility will span about 30,000 square meters and consume roughly 64 megawatts of electricity, placing it among the most energy-intensive server farms in Israel. Its power consumption will be double that of the nearby Nvidia server farm and Shonfeld Engineering’s SDS facility in Modi’in, each of which consumes about 30 megawatts. By comparison, Amazon’s three data centers in Israel each consume around 12 megawatts.
Nvidia plans to install a new and more advanced supercomputer at the site,…
