Introducing FRA1-Mainz

This is Groundbreaking!⛏️ Yesterday Green Mountain and German power company KMW, marked the start of construction of our new sustainable data center, FRA1-Mainz, just outside of Frankfurt! Officials from both local and regional governments attended our event to conduct a Foundation Stone Ceremony at the location. During the ceremony, items such as a Norwegian troll🧌, a daily newspaper🗞️, construction blueprints🚧, and a small bible📕 were ceremoniously placed into a time capsule to be placed in the foundation. This data center will be powered by 100% renewable energy, with the Rhine River providing efficient cooling. Plus, the waste heat will be repurposed to warm up thousands of homes in Mainz. As KMW's CEO, Oliver Malerius, aptly put it, this collaboration is a testament to how "𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥."

We need more women in tech!👯‍♀️ Green Mountain now has over 20% female employees! Even though this was our target in the Sustainability Report, we still need more on board. Last week two of our new employees, Alisa Hansen and Anne Marte Dystvold Hansen participated at Girl Tech Fest in Hamar, while Kristin Ek, Stine Bakka and Rikke Dishington joined the event yesterday in Notodden. 🌐This technology festival is tailored especially for 5th-grade girls and the goal is to ignite a passion for technology among young girls. 💡 Girl Tech Fest gives young girls a special day - a day with only girls and inspiring female mentors from the tech world. 👩‍💻And guess what? Role models play a huge part! At Girl Tech Fest, the girls don't just learn; they innovate, they create, and they connect with women they can look up to. We are proud to have these women on our team and together, hopefully, they inspired and paved the way for more girls in tech. #SettingTheGreenStandard #GreenMountain #DataCenter
