Green Horizon AS is building its first Norwegian data centre on the Jæren plain south of Stavanger, in Rogaland, and calls it Norway 1: a 36 MW opening phase on hydropower, with planning consent granted after earlier zoning approval and construction due to begin later in 2026. The operator aims to be live in the back half of 2027. Investment is put at around €300 million and the build is expected to occupy some 400 construction workers. Across three planned developments the company has secured 96 MW, the later two sized at 12 MW and 48 MW. CBRE holds the contract for operational services and monitoring once the halls are live, and waste heat is committed to a neighbouring greenhouse grower. The Tier 3 reference and the 1.1 PUE figure are design targets rather than measured or awarded results.
