Bulk Infrastructure Acquires Land in Arendal, Norway, for 150MW Data Center Campus
Bulk Infrastructure, a Norwegian industrial real estate and data center developer, has acquired a parcel of land in Arendal, Norway, to develop a new data center campus with a planned capacity of up to 150 megawatts. The move underscores the growing demand for sustainable, large-scale digital infrastructure in the Nordics, a region increasingly favored by hyperscale cloud providers and enterprises seeking low-carbon energy and cool climates.
The company secured the site in the Sørlandet region, known for its robust power grid and access to renewable energy sources, including hydropower. Bulk Infrastructure plans to phase the development over several years, targeting the delivery of high-density computing capacity for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud workloads. The 150MW campus will be built to support modular expansion, allowing for flexible deployment as customer demand evolves.
This acquisition aligns with Bulk Infrastructure’s broader strategy of expanding its Nordic footprint, leveraging Norway’s abundant green energy and political stability. The Arendal site is expected to attract both domestic and international clients looking to reduce their carbon footprint while achieving high levels of energy efficiency. Industry observers note that the project could help alleviate capacity constraints in the region, where data center space is increasingly scarce amid surging AI adoption.
“The Arendal location offers a unique combination of scalable power, favorable climate for free cooling, and proximity to subsea fiber connectivity,” a Bulk Infrastructure representative said. “We are committed to building a world-class facility that meets the highest standards of sustainability and operational resilience.” The company has not disclosed the financial terms of the land acquisition but indicated that construction is expected to begin after completing permitting and grid connection agreements.
