“Norway is becoming a key destination as customers concerned about the sustainability of their data center services seek to increase their use of renewable power sources and avail of abundant free cooling supplies,” said Tor Kristian Gyland, CEO, Green Mountain AS. “The integrated solution provided by Schneider Electric incorporates the latest high efficiency physical infrastructure together with IoT-driven EcoStruxure management software for ongoing reliable and efficient data center operations.”

Dave Johnson, EVP of Schneider Electric’s Secure Power Division said, “As a global leader and innovator, Schneider Electric has played a principal role in advancing the way that today’s data centers are designed, built and managed. We were delighted to have worked with Green Mountain to bring this new capacity onstream in a timely fashion, underscoring the benefits of factory-engineering, pre-testing and faster on-site installation which prefab delivers.”

Towards the end of last year, Green Mountain announced the expansion of its two high profile data center developments and awarded Schneider Electric €10M contract to deliver a complete solution utilising the competencies of the company’s Energy Management business unit. The two companies had history having collaborated to launch Green Mountain’s high efficiency and highly secure DC1-Stavanger facility.

The new capacity has been enabled by a Schneider Electric turnkey solution comprising 15 state-of-the-art EcoStruxure Modular Data Center Power and Cooling modules, together with MV & LV switchgear and EcoStruxure management software.

The modules supplied to Green Mountain incorporate Schneider Electric’s latest innovations in air economised cooling, as well as high efficiency UPS with Li-Ion battery back-up. Schneider Electric is unique in being able to offer in-house a substantial proportion of the electrical and cooling infrastructure, from MV and LV switchgear to power protection and distribution, and cooling plant. Green Mountain will also be expanding its use of Schneider Electric solution to manage its data center operations.
