Futaba’s 2 MW AI centre: 32 B200s, now 96 B300s

Futaba’s AI centre went from 32 servers to 96. The 2 MW stayed put.

Why it matters

Digital Dynamic’s earlier filing named 32 B200 systems at its 2 MW Futaba site. Eole’s October update now describes 96 B300 systems for year-end. The companies have not explained whether the new configuration replaces or expands the earlier plan.

At Futaba, the announced server count changed; the 2 MW connection stayed the same.

Summary

Digital Dynamic’s 2025 support filing named 32 B200 server systems for a 2 MW Futaba data centre; Eole’s 21 October 2026 release names 96 B300 systems for the same site.
The B300 installation is targeted for year-end, but no customer, signed term, order value or explanation of the configuration change is public.

At Futaba, the server count went from 32 to 96. The power figure stayed at 2 MW. The first number came from Digital Dynamic’s October 2025 support-program filing for its new facility in Fukushima; the second is Eole’s 21 October 2026 plan to install HGX B300 systems at the same named data centre by year-end.

B200 and B300 are different machine generations. Digital Dynamic’s filing described 32 NVIDIA B200 servers, a 2 MW receiving scale, space for up to 100 systems and a project cost of about ¥3 billion. Eole now says Futaba can accommodate up to 128 B300 servers and that specific customer demand supports a 96-system configuration. The newer release does not say whether those systems replace, supplement or supersede the B200 plan. It names neither the customer nor an order value or contract term.

That is the useful market signal: a customer-sized configuration is coming into view, while the contract that would tell investors who pays, for how long and at what utilization remains out of view. Eole sells the systems and handles the demand-side contract window; Digital Dynamic installs and operates them. The earlier filing puts the facility in JAIC Data Dynamics, a joint venture, and says grant payment would be finalized after operations begin.

The same partnership is now attached to a much larger number. Eole says it has joined Digital Dynamic’s plan for 300 standard 2 MW sites, or 600 MW, around Japan by 2030. The release does not map Futaba into those 300, count secured sites or assign Eole a share of their investment. Multiplication supplies a neat headline; every site still needs land, power, cooling, finance, equipment and a customer.

The next hard receipts are the B300 buyer, sales and hosting terms, a reconciliation of the two Futaba configurations, and the first powered, billable workload. Those will show how much of the announced installation has become contracted revenue.
