Verne has acquired additional land at its Helsinki data center campus to support the growing demand for sustainable high-performance computing. The expansion will include new buildings designed for AI and HPC workloads, utilizing 100% renewable energy and advanced cooling systems to enhance sustainability efforts.
Sustainability at the Core
The Helsinki campus operates on 100% renewable energy. Another key feature of the site is its waste heat reuse system, which directly supplies the local district heating network.
The upcoming expansion will integrate cutting-edge liquid cooling technology, optimizing heat management for intensive AI and HPC workloads. This advancement strengthens the role of Verne’s heat reuse infrastructure, ensuring the efficient capture and repurposing of excess energy. Furthering its green initiatives, Verne has also transitioned to renewable diesel for its backup power generators in Finland, slashing greenhouse gas emissions from generator use by an estimated 90%.
Strategic Growth in Finland
“The acquisition of this site reinforces Verne’s long-term commitment to Finland and provides an even stronger foundation for our continued growth in the region,” said Dominic Ward, CEO of Verne. “We’ve seen a huge uplift in demand, and having successfully operated from this location for a number of years, we are well-positioned to scale our capabilities and continue delivering industry-leading, sustainable data center solutions to support the next generation of AI and high-performance computing.”
