Fossefall intends to develop a data center in Harpefoss, Norway, possibly on the site of a soon-to-close childcare center, pending municipal council approval. The company aims to establish 500MW of clean AI infrastructure by 2030, utilizing surplus renewable energy.
It previously acquired a data center in Fyresdal capable of supporting 5.5MW, with plans to increase to 18MW. In parallel, PolarDC is expanding its footprint in Drangedal and Porsgrunni, with a requirement for a cost-benefit analysis for projects exceeding 2MW.
PolarDC's DRA site has 52MW in development, while the facility in Tørdal will be a 12MW project starting in 2024. A secondary site near Oslo aims for 100MW.
