Green Mountain på Rennesøydagen 2023🫶 Det er viktig for oss å være en del av lokalsamfunnet på de forskjellige stedene vi har datasentre. Med det tempoet vi har nå, trenger vi mange dyktige folk med på laget. ⛰️Derfor stilte vi opp på årets Rennesøydag. Rennesøydagen er ikke bare et arrangement; det er en gylden mulighet til å få kontakt, informere og inspirere unge talenter og erfarne voksne. Hvem vet, kanskje en av barna som prøvde vårt lykkehjul en dag vil ende opp på vårt datasenter? Tiden vil vise..😄 Tusen takk til Team Green Mountain som sørget for en kjekk dag for både store os små!

☀️Thank you #Arendalsuka for a great week! #Arendsalsuka is the largest political gathering in Norway held annually since 2012. The event’s mission is clear: strengthen the belief in political empowerment and democracy through open debate and involvement. Green Mountain was there, speaking to and educating politicians and stakeholders about the data center industry. 🔈Svein Atle Hagaseth and Torkild Follaug participated in several panels discussing the possibilities and challenges the industry face. Thanks for all the great discussions and insights. As the Secretary of State, Gunn Karin Gjul, said in one of the panels: “𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴.

That is why our employees always try to think of ways to reduce, reuse and recycle before they dispose of anything. Operation supervisor, Hågen Hanasand, is a great example of a colleague that really puts circular economy into practice. We had a chat with him about this topic.

Here is a fact about our cooling system you did not know you wanted to know💡 11 years have passed since the cooling solution was installed on our SVG1-Rennesøy site. You know, the system that uses 3 kW of power to give us 1000 kW of cooling. Pretty impressive😁 The pipes extend 450 meters out into the fjord and lie at a depth of 100 metres. A couple of weeks ago we carried out an 11-year inspection of the pipes that lead fjord water into the cooling center. 🛥️Below are some photos from the installation in 2012 and as you can see it was quite the project. #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain #DataCenter
