atNorth argues that modern data centers create local economic and environmental value, citing its Nordic developments and specific heat-reuse partnerships.

  • The article says atNorth’s ICE03 data center in Akureyri, Iceland was the subject of a KPMG independent analysis showing 12 local jobs supported for every employee directly employed by atNorth.
  • It also cites Mayor Ásthildur Sturludóttir estimating atNorth’s investments in Akureyri at 16 billion ISK, potentially rising to 30 billion ISK, and references heat-reuse projects with Kesko Corporation in Finland and Selected Group in Denmark.
  • The piece is an opinion/commentary-style article by Howard Shutt, Director Hyperscaler Sales, rather than a fresh corporate press release announcing a new standalone project.
