PRE-REVIEW DRAFT — right of reply sent 27 August 2026, pending until 10 September 2026
Norway · Operational
| Status | Operational |
|---|---|
| Capacity (MW) | 2 MW installed, 3 MW designed: the specification box gives 3 MW, while the power section states 2000 kVA (2 MW) currently installed with infrastructure in place for a future 3 MW. 1,000+ m2 (a separate description gives 1,300 m2 with substantial unused capacity -- both shown, neither picked). Opened 2025. Sources: blix.com |
| Power source claim | 100% hydro power (operator claim). HEAT REUSE: NONE LISTED for this site -- the contrast with Blix's older, smaller BDC site, which does re-use waste heat, is the notable point. On the right-of-reply list. Sources: blix.com |
| Published PUE | 1.3 (operator-published on blix.com) Sources: blix.com |
| Ownership / jurisdiction | Same chain as the BDC site: Blix Solutions AS -> Blix Group AS -> Eirik Hjelle Blix (named private individual, Oslo). See the BDC (Lindeberg) entry for the full breakdown. Sources: www.proff.no · nkom.no |
| AI / GPU relevance | UNVERIFIED — no AI/HPC-specific positioning or workload information found; presented as general colocation |
| Verification notes | Added 25 Aug 2026 (batch 2); corrected and expanded 27 Aug 2026 against Blix's own facility pages (fetched 26 Aug 2026). Opened 2025. Location: Rommen, Oslo. Availability class AC3; 100% hydro; Eco-Lighthouse certified; signatory to the Climate Neutral Data Center Pact. Energy mark C -- worse than the older BDC site's B. 144+ racks up to 80cm wide, 42U/48U/52U; 22 kW+ per rack; 2 backup generators and 3 UPS systems; campus cross-connects to BDC. ISO 27001 certified (year inconsistent in Blix's own material -- specification box says 2023, certificate image says 2022; on the right-of-reply list). Recent NOK 60m investment financed by bank loan and leasing; Eidsiva Digital supplies three independent fibre routes. PUE 1.3 is operator-published and self-reported, not third-party audited, and is materially weaker than the 1.08-1.20 range published by the MW-scale Norwegian operators in batch one; see the Blix assessment for that trade-off stated plainly. HEAT REUSE: none listed for this site, in contrast to BDC. WUE: UNVERIFIED. Right of reply sent 27 Aug 2026 to [email protected], cc [email protected]; response window open until 10 Sep 2026. |
