Data Centres in Norway: 94 Percent of the Value Creation Is Foreign-Owned
Published
A new report shows that 94 percent of the value creation from data centres in Norway is foreign-owned. The report was covered by the website TechWatch.
According to the report, the direct value creation from data centres in Norway in 2025 was NOK 3.2 billion. The data centre operators alone employed about 600 people.
Data centres are large buildings containing computers that store and process information for businesses and private individuals. Many data centres are located in Norway because the country has a lot of renewable electricity, and it is important for companies to have low energy prices and lower climate emissions.
The report shows that most of the owners of the value creation in the sector come from other countries. At the same time, the activity provides jobs and income in Norway. The report gives a picture of how large a role data centres play in the Norwegian economy today.
