Key Takeaway
In 2023, atNorth sought reliable backup power for its first Nordic data centre but lacked in-house engineering resources. Finnish company kW-set Oy won the contract to supply six generators for the Fin02 facility. Over two years, kW-set expanded its partnership with atNorth, providing turnkey backup power solutions across its entire Nordic portfolio, including sites in Iceland and Denmark. Atte Hietaoja, kW-set’s Partner and Chief Sales Executive, noted that their collaboration began with the Fin02 order and has since grown to encompass all atNorth locations.
When atNorth sought backup power for its inaugural Nordic data centre in 2023, the company encountered a challenge familiar to newer operators: how to secure dependable emergency generators without the in-house engineering teams that hyperscalers typically possess.
The solution emerged from Finland. kW-set Oy secured 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 involved Iceland, followed by Denmark, and now we are supplying all the sites for atNorth.”
