Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) announced that its subsidiary Tydal Data Center AS has contracted Data Center Installations AS to develop a 180-megawatt artificial intelligence data center in Norway. The facility is scheduled for completion in December 2026.

The Tydal Data Center will be designed primarily for co-location services using Nvidia's Vera Rubin AI technology. According to the press release, the facility is expected to become Norway's largest operational AI data center and among the largest in Europe by installed capacity upon completion.

DCI, a subsidiary of Sparc Group AB, was selected as the design and construction partner based on its experience with Norwegian data center operators. The company will handle the conversion of the existing TDC facility into an AI data center following Nvidia's reference design specifications.

"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.

Bjørn Arve Olsen, co-founder at DCI, stated that "the size of the project and the execution model provide strong predictability and close control over both costs and progress."

The Tydal facility is located in Tydal municipality in Trøndelag and operates within the Kirkvollen industrial site. The data center plans to utilize excess heat for food production on neighboring property.

Bitdeer, headquartered in Singapore, operates data centers across multiple countries including the United States, Norway, Bhutan, and Ethiopia. The company provides Bitcoin mining solutions and AI computational infrastructure services.
