Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ:BTDR) has announced that its subsidiary, Tydal Data Center AS, has appointed Data Center Installations AS to design and construct a 180-megawatt artificial intelligence data center in Norway, with completion targeted for December 2026.
The planned Tydal Data Center will focus primarily on co-location services powered by Nvidia’s Vera Rubin AI platform. Once operational, the facility is expected to be the largest active AI data center in Norway and among the biggest in Europe in terms of installed capacity.
Data Center Installations AS (DCI), a subsidiary of Sparc Group AB, was chosen as the engineering and construction partner due to its experience working with data center operators in Norway. The company will oversee the conversion of the existing TDC facility into an AI-focused data center built in line with Nvidia’s reference architecture.
“The transformation of our Tydal facility is a cornerstone of Bitdeer’s global strategy to meet the explosive demand for AI data centers,” said Haakon Bryhni, chairman and co-founder of TDC.
DCI co-founder Bjørn Arve Olsen added that “the size of the project and the execution model provide strong predictability and close control over both costs and progress.”
The Tydal site is located in the municipality of Tydal in Trøndelag and forms part of the Kirkvollen industrial area. The project also plans to reuse excess heat generated by the data center to support food production on nearby land.
Singapore-headquartered Bitdeer operates data center infrastructure across several regions including the United States, Norway, Bhutan and Ethiopia, providing both Bitcoin mining services and high-performance computing capacity for artificial intelligence workloads.
