Norway's Green Mountain will build a 54MW hyperscale data center with German energy company KMW near Frankfurt. Up to this time Green Mountain has designed, built and operates sustainable data centers in Norway and the UK. Three data center buildings are planned at the new 25,000sqm site located in an industrial area next to KMW’s power plants.

Green Mountain says the new facility will be cooled by the Rhine River, and will have a PUE below 1.3. As much as 60 MW of waste heat will be fed into the local heating system.

“With this partnership, Green Mountain continues its pan-European growth strategy. We are excited we can finally offer a green data center location in one of the hottest data center markets in Europe,” said Green Mountain CEO Svein Atle Hagaseth.
