Data centres built where the power is.
Glacier Grid is a new Nordic data centre platform from Whitehay Capital. Renewable-powered capacity for the AI era, beginning in Iceland.
Every forecast for the next decade of computing runs into the same constraint. Not chips. Not capital. Power. Glacier Grid goes where the power is. We develop data centre capacity where renewable energy is abundant and the climate does the cooling.
First project · Iceland
A campus designed to grow beyond 100 MW.
Our first project is in development in Iceland: a phased data centre campus drawing on the country's geothermal and hydro power, with year-round natural cooling and subsea fibre to Europe and North America.
ConnectivityCloser than you think.
Multiple subsea cable systems link Iceland to Europe and North America, with further capacity planned this decade.
Round-trip latency from Iceland, indicative
The locationWhy Iceland. Why now.
The qualities that make a lasting data centre location cannot be engineered after the fact. Iceland has them all.
Renewable and abundant
The climate does the work
One of the cleanest grids on earth
Fibre to two continents
Built for heavy industry
A safe place to build
The precedentIceland has done this before.
Fifty years of turning clean power into heavy industry. The playbook for what comes next.
Electricity, exported as metal
Iceland turned renewable power into aluminium and built world-scale heavy industry on a clean grid in the middle of the Atlantic. Most of the country's electricity already powers industry. Energy-intensive build-out is not an experiment here. It is the national playbook.
Electricity, exported as intelligence
Compute is the same trade in a new century. Power that cannot be shipped is sold in denser form: as training runs, as models, as the working memory of the AI era. Glacier Grid is built for the second act.
