atNorth’s Iceland Data Center Powered by RE

atNorth, a Nordic colocation, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence service provider, announced a third Iceland data center, ICE03, is now fully operational with an initial capacity of 10 MW.

The colocation site is located 250 km north of Reykjavík in Iceland, whose energy supply operates on a closed grid powered by 100% renewable hydro and geothermal energy sources. The location was also selected in part for its cool climate, which reduces the cost of cooling data center infrastructure.

"We are delighted to be expanding our presence in the Nordics once again with a third site in Iceland," said Eyjólfur Magnús Kristinsson, CEO of atNorth, in a statement. "With six operational sites across three Nordic countries and another in development, our commitment to meet increasing demand in the industry through continued expansion is evidenced. Furthermore, our dedication to sustainable best practice supports our goal to become the service provider of choice for eco-friendly, high-performance infrastructure."
