Lefdal Mine Data Center
About Lefdal Mine Data Center
Lefdal Mine Data Center operates inside a former mine near Måløy and is expanding data halls across a six-level, 75-chamber campus. The site reports 10 MW in operation, 20 MW reserved for customers, 80 MW available power and up to 200 MW potential, alongside fjord-water cooling and renewable electricity.
Capacity
Planned critical ITDevelopment
4 phases · 5 milestonesShared mine campus; individual customer halls are deployments, not separately named public facilities.
Electrical availability; 20 MW was reported reserved for current customers and should not be conflated with live IT load.
Customer-triggered halls averaging about 700 m² are built within the mine.
Ultimate physical and electrical potential, not delivered capacity.
Infrastructure
10 MW in operation
Current HPC page statement; distinct from 20 MW reserved and 80 MW available electrical power.
20 MW reserved
Reserved for current customers; does not prove simultaneous operating IT draw.
80 MW available
Available electrical capacity after a 60 MW expansion from 20 MW.
80 MW level capacity
Level 3 design statement; not treated as additional to the campus's 80 MW available power.
200 MW potential
Ultimate mine-campus potential; not delivered or reserved capacity.
132 kV
Direct connection to the regional grid through operator-owned transformers.
200 MW
Last-mile grid reinforced for 200 MW with separated entries; transformer installation remains modular.
90 MW cooling
Twelve modular 7.5 MW heat exchangers on Level 3 total 90 MW cooling.
200 MW redundant cooling
Next cooling level is intended to support 200 MW redundant capacity.
8 degrees C
Year-round seawater source for heat exchangers.
100 meters
Redundant piping draws fjord water from about 100 m depth.
1.08 PUE lower bound
Operator range is 1.08–1.15 depending on cooling technology, UPS configuration and scale; not an observed annual average.
1.15 PUE upper bound
Upper bound of the operator's configuration-dependent PUE range.
50 kW per rack up to
Air-cooling capability; direct liquid and immersion can support higher densities but no normalized ceiling is imported.
0 WUE
No evaporative cooling; operator reports WUE zero. Treat as claimed design/operation metric, not independently measured.
