Analysis

Green Mountain ’s OSL‑Hamar campus—recently named Capacity‑Media’s “Data Centre of the Month”—now houses three operational buildings, each with 30 MW capacity, fully leased to TikTok under its European data sovereignty scheme, Project Clover. In April 2025, TikTok began operating in all three halls, marking the site fully in service. The data centre delivers a PUE of under 1.2 and is powered exclusively by renewable hydropower. It is designed for heat reuse, with ongoing collaborations aimed at supplying surplus energy to local buildings. Built to Tier III standards, OSL‑Hamar utilises free cooling from Norway’s cool climate (average annual temperature ~5.8 °C) and offers independent grid feeds, redundant infrastructure and robust security measures.
