Location

North Iceland.

An industrial-ready site adjacent to Iceland's geothermal generation, with deep-water port access and direct subsea fibre routes to Europe and North America.

  • Power: Long-duration geothermal baseload — among Europe's lowest-carbon grids.
  • Climate: Cool ambient year-round — high free-cooling potential.
  • Connectivity: Direct subsea cable routes (FARICE, IRIS, others) to UK/EU/US.
  • Partnership: Joint venture with Global Interconnection Group (GIG).
