Arctic Advantage

Located north of the Arctic Circle, our location benefits from a naturally cool climate that enables efficient and cost-effective cooling throughout the year. This environment allows for a variety of advanced approaches, from free-air systems to liquid cooling technologies, adaptable to different performance, efficiency, and sustainability needs.

Renewable Energy & Low Electricity Costs

Close to 100% renewable energy from established hydro and wind power plants in Northern Norway, the area benefits from short transmission distances and location in the N04 price zone, known for some of the most competitive electricity prices in Europe, primarily driven by abundant hydro power.

Northern Norway (NO4): Europe’s Powerhouse of Low Prices

The electricity prices in Northern Norway’s NO4 bidding zone remain among the lowest in Europe, driven by an abundant renewable power surplus and exceptionally strong hydropower resources.

Year-to-date figures and long-term price contracts (10-year PPAs) confirm the stability of this trend: NO4 consistently delivers energy at a fraction of the European average.

For energy-intensive industries and data-driven businesses, Northern Norway offers:

Unmatched cost efficiency: predictable, low electricity costs.
Sustainability at scale: nearly 100% renewable production.
Future-proof security: strong grid infrastructure and surplus capacity.

This makes NO4 one of the most attractive energy regions in all of Europe.

Hydropower in Northern Norway (NO4 Zone)

The NO4 price zone in Northern Norway hosts a significant number of hydropower plants. Together, these facilities play a key role in regional energy supply, with several large reservoirs and river systems developed for renewable power generation.
