KKR, Kuwait Investment Authority, Nvidia, and utility firm Vistra launched Helix Digital Infrastructure with more than $10 billion（約1.6兆円） in committed capital. The company is led by former Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky and will finance the build-out of AI infrastructure, with Nvidia providing data-center design expertise and Vistra serving as the preferred power provider.
Why it matters
U.S. data-center construction for AI has strained power supply and created a shortage of electronics components, slowing facility development that Big Tech needs for AI ambitions. Growing project costs are making private equity a funding source for the industry—Helix's launch reflects how alternative asset managers are stepping in to fill this financing gap.
What to watch
Helix can add additional institutional investors after founding commitments close. KKR's infrastructure platform already manages over $100 billion（約16兆円） in assets, including more than $70 billion（約11兆円） across digital and power, giving the company significant backing for expansion.
