Kitebrook: Leirdøla, Norway

Kitebrook Leirdøla is a planned artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) data center campus located in Luster Municipality within Norway's hydropower-rich Sogn region.

Situated at the entrance of the Jostedal valley, the site is explicitly positioned to leverage the naturally cold climate near the Jostedal glacier and tap into immediate regional energy networks. Kitebrook Infra has a power allocation agreement underway through local grid operator Sygnir, with the project designed to connect directly into the Leirdøla power station ecosystem, interconnecting it with three additional nearby hydroelectric facilities.

Mirroring the flagship Matre design, the Leirdøla development features a zero-emission, generator-free resilience architecture that utilizes a multi-fjord water-cooling system and dual-feed local hydropower to completely eliminate the need for traditional diesel backup generators and energy-intensive chillers, with power availability targeted to begin rolling out in 2028.
