Sendt 357 brev: Ber kommunene om datasenter-tomt
«Har kommunen noe areal som kan passe inn i våre ønsker?», spør et lite, Oslo-basert firma med null…
Three hundred and fifty-seven letters were sent to Norwegian municipalities by Oslo-based company Filipstad AS, seeking permission to develop a data center on public land. The company is owned by Rolf Sirevaag, a 76-year-old entrepreneur who has seen the company's revenue increase from 7,000 kroner to nearly 42,000 kroner over the past year.
The company is currently evaluating 163 potential sites, with 20 data center operators expressing interest in a particular parcel of land. The planning process for the project could take up to a year, with construction expected to begin in three to five years. Several municipalities, including Sauda, Skien, and Narvik, have already responded to the company's inquiry, with some indicating they do not have suitable land available.
The company's CEO, Jelena Sirevaag, emphasizes the importance of long-term investment in local communities and rejects the notion of quick profits from "flipping" properties.
