Will support capacity expansion at Blönduós data center
The increasing demand for data center capacity, driven by AI and cloud adoption, necessitates securing stable and affordable power sources in environmentally conscious regions.
Securing a 12MW power purchase agreement highlights the critical role of energy availability and cost in data center expansion, particularly in regions with abundant renewable energy.
This agreement ensures power for Borealis's data center expansion, demonstrating a continued focus on leveraging Iceland's geothermal and hydroelectric resources for compute infrastructure.
