Summary
Norwegian data center firm Green Mountain and German power company KMW have broken ground on a new data center in Mainz, outside Frankfurt.
The first 18MW building of the 25,000 sqm (269,100 sq ft) campus site is set to be completed in Q1 2025.
Green Mountain and KMW partnered in a joint venture earlier this year for the project, located 30 km outside Frankfurt. At full build-out, the site could offer 54MW across three buildings.
“This is truly a proud day in our company’s history. I am confident that this project will set a new green standard when it comes to data centers in Germany,” said Green Mountain CEO, Svein Atle Hagaseth.
Oliver Malerius, CEO of KMW, said: "This data center, founded on a groundbreaking partnership with Green Mountain, is a symbol of technical excellence and sustainability. It shows how innovation and environmental protection can go hand in hand, and it fills us with pride, to help shape a green digital future."
The data center will be cooled by the nearby river Rhine and the waste heat produced will be fed directly into the existing district heating network of the city of Mainz.
