U.S.-Norwegian company Kolos is planning to build a data center in northern Norway to make use of the area’s abundance of renewable hydro power.
The center in Ballangen will be powered by hydroelectric power and take advantage of the cold climate to help to reduce the cost of cooling servers, the company said. Facebook Inc. started data center operations at its new facility across the border in Lulea, Sweden in 2013.
