Blix Solutions — BDC (Lindeberg), Oslo
PRE-REVIEW DRAFT — right of reply sent 27 August 2026, pending until 10 September 2026
Norway · Operational
| Status | Operational |
|---|---|
| Capacity (MW) | Blix publishes three different figures for this site on one page, and we show all three rather than pick: 1.5 MW in the specification box; 'our own 1MW facility' in the body text; and 'currently installed 400V 1600kVA (1 MegaWatt for servers + cooling)' under power capacity. On the right-of-reply list. 1,000+ m2. Opened 2021. Sources: blix.com |
| Power source claim | 100% hydro power (operator claim). HEAT REUSE: YES -- Blix's own BDC page states waste heat is reused locally to heat the building, with future planned remote supply to district heating. Solar panels power network equipment. Note the contrast within this operator: BDC re-uses waste heat; the newer and larger NR5 lists none. |
| Published PUE | 1.3 (operator-published on blix.com, same figure as NR5). Whether this is a measured annual average or a design figure is not stated -- on the right-of-reply list. |
| Ownership / jurisdiction | Blix Solutions AS (org. 993 128 708, founded 2008, Oslo) is 100% owned by Blix Group AS (org. 999 148 107), which is in turn 100% owned by Eirik Hjelle Blix (b. 1985), a named private individual resident in Oslo who is also CEO. No fund, no foreign holding company, no intermediate layer — the cleanest ownership chain in this dataset. Blix Group also wholly owns Blix Data Center AS (org. 913 675 630, the DC/property entity), Glødelampe AS and Fixo AS, and holds minority stakes including Storespeed AS (5%) and Servebolt AS (3.65%).

| AI / GPU relevance | UNVERIFIED — no AI/HPC-specific positioning or workload information found; Tier 3-compliant design, presented as general colocation |
| Verification notes | Added 25 Aug 2026 (batch 2); substantially corrected 27 Aug 2026 against Blix's own facility pages (blix.com/co-location/, /blix-data-center-as/, /nr5-datacenter-as/, fetched 26 Aug 2026). CORRECTION: this page previously stated no waste-heat reuse was found for either Blix site. That was wrong -- Blix's own BDC page states local reuse of waste heat to heat the building plus future planned remote supply to district heating. The source was the operator's own published facility page, one we should have found before publishing. Opened 2021. Availability class AC3; 100% hydro; Eco-Lighthouse certified; signatory to the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact. Energy mark B (NR5 rates C -- the newer facility rates worse). 32 racks (75cm) + 168 racks (60cm); 22 kW per rack; 350V DC and 48V DC available alongside AC; backup generator and UPS; solar panels powering network equipment. Ownership grade A (primary registry -- Bronnoysundregistrene via proff.no, checked 25 Aug 2026). WUE: UNVERIFIED. OPEN QUESTIONS for right of reply: (1) is the published PUE of 1.3 a measured annual average or a design figure? (2) Blix's own material is inconsistent on certification year -- specification boxes say ISO 27001:2023, the certificate image says ISO 27001:2022. (3) Site drawings for this facility are captioned 'Jerikoveien 26' while the company's postal address is Lindeberg naeringsvei 26; we do not assert an address for the site. (4) three different capacity figures on one page (see capacity field). Right of reply sent 27 Aug 2026 to [email protected], cc [email protected]; response window open until 10 Sep 2026. |
