GreenScale this week announced the acquisition of Tonstad DataPark, a new data center development located in the municipality of Sirdal in West Agder County (NO2), Norway.

Tonstad DataPark spans a 420,000 square meter (4.5 million sq ft) site with 300MW of grid capacity, approved by Glitre Nett and Statnett. GreenScale aims to invest more than €2.5 billion ($2.85bn) developing a four-building campus, with the first phase of capacity targeted for 2027.

“This latest chapter in our short but remarkable story is a big step forward for us and the viability of using alternative or renewable energy sources for Hyperscale and AI-ready data centers as a whole, while bringing a new 300MVA campus to the market in a very well developed region for customers in Europe” said Dan Thomas, GreenScale CEO.

“With every facet of this facility oriented towards supporting customer requirements for network, compute, and high-density workloads, it was crucial for us to develop in a region with high levels of energy stability, alternative and renewable sources of power, and at the same time ensure a sustainable economic development.”
