- Statkraft Data Center Sites markets development-ready sites in Norway for large data centres. The article highlights Norway’s nearly 100% renewable electricity supply, access to hydropower, low wholesale power prices relative to Europe, cool climate that can reduce cooling requirements, and direct dark-fibre routes toward London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Stockholm.
- The page also cites stable political/economic conditions, transparent investment regulation, lower exposure to certain natural disasters and an educated, English-speaking workforce. These are presented as location advantages by the site provider.
- Statkraft says it has served power-intensive industries for more than 120 years and offers short- and long-term electricity contracts and market-access services. The article argues that this power-market experience can be applied to data-centre customers. No specific data-centre sites, capacity availability or current price terms are given in the page.
