Bulk Data Centers has begun construction of a new 42 MW facility at its N01 data centre campus in Southern Norway.

The site, which is scheduled for completion this year, features air cooling and direct liquid cooling capabilities of up to 100 kW per rack and will connect to the existing 125 MVA dual on-site substations.

“The rapid growth in occupancy at the N01 data centre campus underscores the undeniable demand for highly scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions,” said Gisle M. Eckhoff, Executive Vice President, Bulk Data Centers at Bulk Infrastructure.

“The success of our strategic approach is reflected in the trust from our owners and partners, which will help us to build data centres of the future that meet the demands of our growing customer base.”

Bulk has said that, in addition to the current 265,000 sqm of construction-ready land at the site, it will also prepare an additional 300,000 sqm for possible future expansion. Bulk is also working with regional and national grid companies to add 300 MW of redundant power capacity.

“Meeting our customers’ demands is our number one priority. Our team possesses an intimate knowledge of market trends, and we remain dedicated to constructing data centre infrastructure at a large scale and in the shortest timeframes. At a time when countries across Europe are facing constraints on land and power, we offer a holistic solution, enabling our customers to scale in a low-cost sustainable way,” added Rob Elder, Chief Commercial Officer at Bulk.

This latest expansion follows the launch of a 12 MW data centre facility at the N01 site in 2023.
