surplus of power, and will be a big net
exporter in a year with normal inflow.
An increase in renewables and an increase in
interconnector capacity, affects the power prices
in the Nordics in opposite directions. In analysis
from Econ Pöyry, it is found that the net effect of
these trends is a decrease in the Nordic power
price – all other things being equal. On the
Continent, an increase in fuel prices and
CO2-prices will result in an increase in the
power prices.

BENEFITS
Reduce your environmental imprint by
reducing your need for diesel-based back up.
Short transmissions paths give the lowest
losses in the grid between producer and
consumer. It frees capacity in the existing net.
This in turn enables reduced losses in the net
(losses are reduced when there is less strain
on the net). Excess capacity in the grid is
beneficial because it allows new power plants
access to the grid.

BROADBAND
Norway´s total capacity is practically unlimited
due to a modern fiber infrastructure.
Norway has 99,7 % broadband coverage.
And to this comes the mobile connection.

”Norway can provide outstanding and internationally
competitive conditions for data centre operations.
Norway is a geologically, economically and politically stable
country with excellent communications infrastructure and a
population with outstanding ICT skills. We are one of the
world leaders in heating and cooling systems and work
continuously for a green approach concerning the ICT
industry and environmental impact at large.”
