Tydal Data Center AS (TDC), a subsidiary of Bitdeer Technologies Group (Nasdaq: BTDR), contracted Data Center Installations AS (DCI) on March 30 to design and build the expanded facility at the Kirkvollen industrial site in Tydal municipality, Trøndelag county, Norway.

DCI, a Norwegian contractor specializing in critical infrastructure and part of Sparc Group AB since 2025, will manage the project end-to-end, covering design, planning, installation, testing, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.

The 180 MW gross capacity facility is being configured primarily for AI co-location services built around Nvidia’s Vera Rubin GPU architecture, following Nvidia’s reference design. Customer installations are scheduled to begin after completion.

If delivered on schedule, the Tydal site will become Norway’s largest operational AI data center and rank among the largest in Europe by installed capacity.

The facility already draws 100% carbon-free hydroelectric power and uses immersion cooling. Excess heat generated on-site will be routed to support food production on a neighboring property.

Haakon Bryhni, chairman and co-founder of TDC, said the Tydal conversion is “a cornerstone of Bitdeer’s global strategy to meet the explosive demand for AI data centers.” He described the project as delivering sustainable, capital-efficient growth alongside local economic value.

Bjørn Arve Olsen, co-founder at DCI, said the contract represents “a significant milestone for DCI, both financially and operationally,” citing the project’s scale and the execution model’s built-in cost and schedule controls.

Bitdeer has been advancing the Tydal site’s pivot from bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure through 2025 and into 2026, placing orders for long-lead equipment and progressing design work ahead of this contract award.

Singapore-headquartered Bitdeer operates data centers across the United States, Norway, Bhutan, and Ethiopia, with a business model that spans bitcoin mining and high-performance AI compute infrastructure.

DCI’s parent company, Sparc Group AB, is a Swedish installation firm with more than 1,000 employees operating across HVAC, electrical, infrastructure, and security sectors in Sweden and Norway.

The Tydal project gives Bitdeer a dedicated European AI co-location hub powered by renewable energy at a time when demand for GPU-dense data center capacity continues to press against available supply across the continent.

Norway’s low-cost hydro power and existing data center infrastructure have drawn sustained attention from hyperscale and AI compute operators seeking carbon-compliant capacity at scale.
