Norway - powered by nature
Abundance of renewable energy at a low price

Norway continuously produces green energy through hydropower and committing to do so to secure future renewable energy sources. The joint Norwegian-Swedish electricity certificate scheme is intended to boost renewable electricity production in both countries. The goal is to increase electricity production based on renewable energy sources by 26.4 TWh by 2020.
Northern Norway is formed by rough summits and rounded rock formations, which is perfect for generating hydropower. Electricity prices are 22% less in Northern Norway compare to the rest of the EU. Get your electricity from where it is generated; Troms - probably the best location to datacentre!
