Polar Data Centers, the European developer, owner and operator of AI-ready data center infrastructure, announced DRA02, a new 40MW AI-ready data center at its flagship campus in Drangedal, Norway.
Located adjacent to the DRA01 facility, DRA02 will deliver approximately 40MW of IT capacity across more than 21,300 square meters of technical space. The facility incorporates direct liquid cooling and has been designed to accommodate the latest GPU technologies and chipsets, with both the critical infrastructure and customer space engineered to support current and future generations of AI hardware. The facility will be powered by renewable Norwegian hydroelectric energy.
“AI is fundamentally changing infrastructure requirements, and customers need partners that can deliver capacity purpose-built for tomorrow’s workloads", said Andy Hayes, CEO of Polar Data Centers. "DRA02 builds on the strong foundations established with DRA01 and demonstrates our continued commitment to sustainable, high-performance data center infrastructure in Norway. By combining renewable energy, advanced engineering and operational excellence, we are creating infrastructure that enables customers to scale with confidence.”
