Let the climate work
Narvik averages 1.6 °C a year. Outside air cools Hall A; no chillers, no towers, no water.
84 people in Tromsø and Narvik, running GPU halls on Arctic air and Nordic hydro.
Training a model is an energy problem. Up to forty percent of that energy goes to fighting heat, in places that are already hot. We put the GPUs where the air is cold and the power falls downhill, and sell the result by the GPU-hour.
Three years, two sites and one rule: build only where the climate does the cooling.
Three engineers from grid operations and hyperscale build-out start Nordlys above the Arctic Circle.
A former industrial site on the fjord, next to a 420 kV line. Series Seed closes the same month.
Seed · $13MThe first 2,048 H200s come online on free-air cooling. 9,984 are running by September.
A second hall across the border in Sweden, on the same hydro grid and Arctic air.
Planned
Trailing twelve months, Hall A. Updated on the first of every month.
Four rules we use to choose sites, suppliers and customers.
Narvik averages 1.6 °C a year. Outside air cools Hall A; no chillers, no towers, no water.
Every kilowatt-hour comes from Nordic hydro with guarantees of origin, published per hall.
A Norwegian company with halls in Norway and Sweden. Customer-held keys, no transfers out.
PUE, inlet temperature and grid mix are metered every minute and shared with customers.
Founders and engineers from grid operations, hyperscale build-out and HPC research.


Long-horizon investors in energy and infrastructure, mostly from the Nordics.
