GIGA-42: Norðurþing

GIGA-42, a new joint venture between Global InterConnection Group Limited and Northern DC AS, is set to build a massive AI-focused data center in northern Iceland. The project, a collaboration with the Norðurþing Municipality, will be located at Bakki, Húsavík.

The first phase aims to be the beginning of one of Iceland's first hyperscale data centers. Construction is scheduled to start in the first half of 2026, with the initial operations beginning in 2027.

This new facility will leverage Iceland's natural advantages: renewable geothermal power, a cold climate for efficient cooling, and access to district heating networks. These features are expected to make it one of the most advanced and sustainable AI data centers in Europe.
