atNorth reports that it delivered a dedicated high-performance computing environment for Qube Research & Technologies at ICE03 in seven months. The case study does not disclose a delivery date or MW amount and does not establish completion of the wider campus expansion. atNorth ICE03 Akureyri Mega Data Center Campus, also known as atNorth ICE03, is a data center project in Akureyri, Northeastern Region, IS associated with atNorth. 4.3-hectare Tier 3 campus; 50 MW published campus power capacity; operating with room for expansion. Renewable geothermal and hydroelectric power, free cooling, high-density support and redundant connectivity. 12 MW is the facility size reported when ICE03 opened in 2023. The prior 50 MW value is expansion potential and is retained only as future context.
