Data Centres

Data centres power our digital lives – from cloud storage and AI to banking, streaming, and public services. As demand continues to rise, so does the pressure to deliver performance while meeting evolving standards for sustainability, resilience, and cost control.

Nordnest helps data centres navigate this shift by delivering complete, future-proof solutions that integrate energy, infrastructure, and commercial strategy. Whether it’s enabling expansion, supporting decarbonisation, or responding to regulatory change, we bring a systems-level approach designed to reduce complexity and unlock long-term value.

Our work with data centres begins early and continues through delivery and operation. We bring together specialists across key disciplines to ensure your facility is built with the future in mind.

Our support includes:

• Feasibility and concept design
• Project and site planning
• Energy and infrastructure engineering
• Taking on the role of Operating Partner

This coordinated delivery model enables us to embed circular energy strategies from the start – improving both sustainability and commercial outcomes.

These strategies can include:

• Repurposing waste heat for nearby buildings
• Storing surplus energy for later use
• Sharing energy across facilities
• Participating in grid balancing or energy markets

This holistic approach reduces operating costs, increases flexibility, and contributes to wider decarbonisation goals.

Backup power has traditionally been treated as a passive safety net. But today, it plays a far more strategic role in data centre operations.

At Nordnest, we design sustainable hybrid backup systems that contribute continuously – not just during outages. Our modular systems combine solar, wind, flow batteries, and hydrogen storage to deliver between 12 and 72 hours of clean, reliable backup.

These systems can also help data centres:

• Reduce exposure to volatile electricity prices
• Shift from diesel to zero-emissions standby capacity
• Integrate into broader energy strategies and circular use models

Even in highly reliable grid regions, this kind of energy flexibility offers a competitive advantage – lowering long-term energy costs and increasing resilience.

We offer more than technology – we deliver the right mix of capabilities, systems, and partnerships to future-proof your data centre.

What sets Nordnest apart:

• Zero Emissions – Renewable-first systems eliminate diesel and combustion-based fuels
• Modular & Scalable – Systems grow with your facility, from pilot to full-scale
• Safe & Efficient – Non-pressurised hydrogen storage saves space and avoids permitting delays
• Rapid Deployment – Our solutions can go live in 6–12 months
• Low Total Cost of Ownership – Minimal maintenance, long equipment lifespans
• Compliance-Ready – Built to meet EU and local regulatory standards from day one

Whether you are building from the ground up or upgrading an existing facility, Nordnest brings deep experience, integrated delivery, and a long-term mindset.
