Key Takeaway
In 2023, atNorth sought reliable backup power for its first Nordic data centre but lacked the in-house engineering resources typical of larger operators. Finnish company kW-set Oy secured the contract to supply six generators for atNorth’s Fin02 facility. Two years later, kW-set expanded its role, providing turnkey backup power solutions for atNorth’s entire Nordic portfolio. Atte Hietaoja, Partner and Chief Sales Executive at kW-set, noted that their partnership began with the Fin02 order and has since grown to include projects in Iceland, Denmark, and all atNorth sites.
When atNorth sought backup power for its inaugural Nordic data centre in 2023, the company encountered a challenge familiar to newer operators: securing dependable emergency generators without the in-house engineering teams that hyperscalers typically possess.
The solution emerged from Finland. kW-set Oy was awarded the contract to provide six generators for atNorth’s Fin02 facility. Two years later, kW-set now delivers turnkey backup power solutions across atNorth’s entire Nordic portfolio.
“Our partnership with atNorth began in 2023, when we received our first order for Fin02,” says Atte Hietaoja, Partner and Chief Sales Executive at kW-set Oy. “The second phase took us to Iceland, followed by Denmark, and now we are supplying all the sites for atNorth.”
