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 also enjoyed great panel discussions with Anna Klaft, Alexander Rabe, Staffan Reveman, Markus Blüm and Svein Atle Hagaseth.
